HO scale NYA engines (an inquiry)

I recall there was a young man who tragically passed away from cancer about two years ago who had custom-painted a number of GP-38's in the NYA color scheme (including authentic decaling). These models -- or at least his initial one -- was available for sale at Willis Hobbies in Mineola. Does anyone know if the remaining engines he completed will be offered for sale at some point?

That man was George Hunka. His models were sold off at RMLI's Railfest last August. I was lucky enough to pick up 3 Conrail units. His mother may still be able to be contacted about buying off whatever is left, if anything. I remember her being behind the booth with Steve Torborg of Locomotive 35.

My only suggestion would be to contact Friends of 35. They may have the remainder and/or could point you in the right direction.

I think my friend got the one from willis, #270 or 268.

Thanks for the info, guys.

Speakin' of custom painted, Anybody interested in painting a G scale GP38-2 in NYA livery?

I had thouts about painting a G scale Geep into NYA and LIRR but dont have the equpt to do it.
but yeah, if for the idea.

Did George Hunka paint the HO scale NYA Geeps that were given out as annual safety awards a few years back?

Those were painted by Bobby Kasza who works for the LIRR.

G Scale GP39s, you took my idea lol, I am also painting one up in N-Scale

I lucked out by picking up a beautifully custom-painted SW-1000 in the NYA paint-scheme. The model was decalled for engine 106. There were two models available earlier in the day, so I got lucky when I came by the table later on as they were down to the one unit. I asked if they did a GP-38 and was told that if the customer wants one it's up to the customer to supply the model.

The vendor is Gold Spike Hobbies. They can be contacted at:

I'll try amd get a picture downloaded at some point.

And Doug brought me there, and I bought LIRR 101 (now NYA) when it was in the scheme as SW1001 #103 is in today. Don't worry Doug, I'll get my NYA model soon. See you at the Rodeo.
