I recently looked into having a couple of locomotives custom painted to represent two local shortlines. I was really getting excited as they would have made nice additions to my collection representing Western Pennsylvania and would have been for the Pittsburgh & Ohio Central and the New Castle Industrial Railroad. Then I discovered nobody makes a nice model of a GP9M. There is Walther's Trainline, but it looks like a toy compared to the products made today by Atlas, BLI, P2K or even Athearn.
My question is why? It seems there a lot of shortlines still using this locomotive, or am I wrong? They appear from time to time in the various weekend photo fun threads so they must still be some out there. Anyone know of other shortlines still using them.
