I don't know what's available in N but (I think) Con Cor have/had a line of shorties (about 70') that were patterned after the CNW 400 cars (and were instantly recognizable as such to a real psgr freak)
As for engines: In diesel everything from an E-6 to E-8 and a single Alco DL-109 or FM Erie-built. At some point they dropped the black stripe between colors and along the bottom of the windows and changed the lettering from silver to yellow

An addendum to cbq 400 ? This would be for the Flambeau 400 to Northern WI particularly Eagle River

Read the post on the 400 and have a few questions: Does anyone make an N scale model of the 400 passenger cars circa late 40's early 50"s and what steam locos and early diesel did were used?
