PC: Re: interesting errata

["ERIE LACKAWANNA SD45-2" <ERIE-LACKAWANNA@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are no plastic C425's than Atlas.   TYCO made the C430.  When TYCO was
taken over by Mattel several years ago they did not revive the trains. TYCO
also made a shortened GG-1, E7, a nice hi-nose SD24 before Mattel took them
over. There was also a PC Green GP20 in addition to the F7's.

Model Power offers a C430 similar to TYCO's

As for MGA RF-16's, none were ever repainted, but simply relettered NYC
units. I doubt repaints would have the white stripe on the nose
