Re: American Models


 

I had an ABA undecorated set, I obtained an A shell from Ron and replaced it to the B unit.?

Despite knowing that NH did not have B units, AM did offer an ABA set with the B unit numbered 0770

Rich,? you are correct in that AM only sold the New Havens in AA sets--I believe AM's literature states the fact that the NH didn't have B's.? The NYC 's that I'm selling was also boxed that way, with the B unit slot covered over with foam.?
For these marginal runs, ordering different sized boxes gets expensive.? The same applied to SHS as they used their AB box with all the cutouts for sound and AF couplers + the wheels.? So if you ordered a SHS, AA configuration you probably got two AB set boxes.?

I bought my PA's (A&B) and they arrived in the same plain boxes many companies send out anything that fits.? Since the SHS folks knew what I needed I just received a DC, scale wheels version.

I have an A-A set (AC Hirail) in a three unit box with the foam insert for the B-unit in place.? I bought these (I have a "guilty pleasure" for New Haven...) at an S-Fest last century from an individual.? I think originally AM offered them as A-A or A-B-A, although this is the only A-A set I've ever seen.? Just as well, NH didn't have any PB-units.
