Commercially available Arcade & Attica Railroad models

I moderate a forum on Railroad.net devoted to the Arcade & Attica Railroad, a shortline in western NY. One of the threads is a listing of models that are commercially available painted for the A&A. There are times when I want to quickly see what I have in my collection so I decided to make this post on my blog that I can easily access. It won't mean much to non-A&A people, and it really shouldn't be on a D&H blog... but it is my blog. The information below is not only for my personal archival purposes but also to record the history behind the manufacturing of the models. Anything highlighted is an item in my collection.

               * Listed in the Walthers 1988 HO scale catalog on p.100. No picture, price is listed as "TBA." There is a sad history on this. Originally conceived in the late 1970s, a lot of research was done in preparation of this model. KLW was a business run by a couple. However, when the husband passed away in 1983 the kit was put on hold and never materialized. The wife still runs KLW. She wasn't sure why the item was still listed in the Walthers 1988 catalog.
