UMTRR Listing of N and Z Body Styles
©1997-2004 George J. Irwin. All rights reserved. Reposting prohibited. Legal Stuff
Here are translations of the catalog numbers of body styles in N, Nn3 and Z Scale. Official caveat: they are NOT official-- of course not, it's an "unofficial report!" In fact, these descriptions have changed from time to time on M/T's own labels. Where available, I have indicated the prototype from which the body style is drawn. Contributions to this part of the table are heartily encouraged!
