Early N scale PH&D models were based on existing tooling and usually weren’t accurate representations of the equipment actually rostered by the company (for example, as documented elsewhere on this site, the PH&D never rostered a 50′ double door boxcar). They’re fairly easy to come by and often cheaper than newer, more accurate models are.
Commercially produced models of non-PH&D models equipment are on a separate page.
