I saw that RMC article at the hobby shop, and it was the one reason I might have picked up RMC this month -- but then I realized (three pages into the article) that it was the IHP body. No sale, Bill S, again. Haven't bought an RMC or MR in months -- I should maybe e-mail Henry Carstens thanking him for giving me an extra $6 a month in my hobby budget lately.
Actually, I believe Frank Cicero did an RMC article 15 years ago or so where he kitbashed it from Athearn parts. It wouldn't surprise me if he did the IHP master. And it's worth repeating that Cicero was told that RMC didn't want any more commuter pieces. Unless they did another NJT loco, huh?
