N Scale New Jersey Transit Fleet Completed (Finally!)
Posted by KisNap on Thursday, May 5, 2016 10:28 AM

Hi Everyone,
Here are some pictures of my recently competed NJ Transit fleet.  Nothing is easy with them since their locomotives are either proprietary or a combination of 2 locomotives.  I'll be listing GP40PH 4113 on eBay in the near future.  2 1/2 years later (cold weather and need for trucks delayed things) and well over 300 decals later the project is complete (mostly).  Fiber optics will be installed on some locomotives to show the reverse lights when in "push" mode.  Let me know what you think. 

The fleet contains...

A bus

Locomotives:
2 GP40PH-2 (Combination of GP40 and SD45 cowl)
GP40FH (combination of GP40 and F45)
MP15DC (They use SW1500s, but the handrails are more like an MP15DC)
PCC Trolley

Passenger Cars:
6 Comet IIM
1 Comet II Cab Car (a modified Kato RDC)
1 Comet V Cab Car
4 Multilevel Cars
1 Multilevel Cab Car

This doesn't include a Kato F40PH that I didn't paint, an Atlas GP40, 5 Life Like GP40s, an Intermountain F7, The MOW train with 2 gondolas, 2 hoppers, and 2 cabooses.


Here's the fleet

Great work!  Maybe you should apply for the top job at NJT, they can't seem to get any professional railroaders for those positions so maybe a dedicated NJT modeler has a good shot at it.

Send your pictures to Chris Christie and keep your fingers crossed!

These grey fleets are great.
