GN Pacific

Westside imported several different models, also PFM. Check ebay.

If looking for cheap plastic, I have no idea.

All GN's pacifics had Belpaire fire boxes, all the plastic ones have radial stay.

e-Bay or a hobby shop with a brass model are your only source for an accurate one. All the above show up on e-bay. the PFM H-5 and the Westside H-4 most often. Prices are all over I have seen a bare brass H-4 go for not much over $100 and a well painted H-5 with sound go over $500.

Years ago, I picked up a Tyco Pennsy pacific. Eventually, I got tired of the inaccuracy; however, not being a stickler for every bloody detail, I fixed that with Squadron Green putty and paint. Since then, it's had a lovely Belpaire firebox.

Tom, if you are still interested, there is a Mantua GN 4-6-2 Pacific, stock #9405. It has a green boiler and a red cab roof. You might be able to find it on E-Bay or someone might have it for sale at a train show.
