Anyone know of either a plastic or brass model of a Western Maryland FA in Circus colors or red/white/black scheme.

I’m assuming you mean HO…

Howard,

Life Like made a Proto2000 version in the circus paint scheme, way back when they first came out with Proto2000, 1989? I have not seen any recently, but they do pop up on ebay from time to time.

My brother has a FA in the black and yellow scheme, Proto 2000, and my other brother a RS-3 in the same scheme.

Hi Howard,

Haven’t seen one in HO for a while that I recall. Time to get out the airbrush!

Regards,

Greg

Howard, I agree with Greg. You should be able to find an early FA and the Circus paint on these is not that difficult. This is a link to the WM Diesel roster for numbering and added details http://www.northeast.railfan.net/wm1.html Do note the (2) 5 chime horns and their placement. The Overland ones are the closest, but have been discontinued about 6 mo. ago. The Cal Scale are somewhat large but may work if no others are found. Mircoscale does have the decals.
