We are please to have received this donation of the Nickel Plate Limited, Alco PA-1 ABA Diesel Locomotive and 7 passenger car set from The Lawrence Scripps Wilkinson Foundation.
The NKP introduced two handsome new streamlined trains between Chicago and Buffalo (the NKP�s tracks did not extend east of Buffalo). The trains were named the �Nickel Plate Limited� (flagship name), and the second train the �New Yorker� (eastbound) and the �Westerner� (westbound), on an alternate schedule between the two cities, via Cleveland.
No. 10044 Alco PA-1 ABA diesel locomotive, along with its streamlined 7-car lightweight stainless steel Pullman-Standard designed train, No. 10045 and No. 10045B, represent an accurate model by MTH of the handsome �Nickel Plate Limited� in �O� gauge as it would have been seen in the 1950s.
