Fooling around I made a HObbyline set that never was. Just to have a photo of what could have been. HObbyline made sets containing a H12-44 one combine and two day coaches in PRR, LVRR. and UPRR. Now with Hobbyline releasing the H12-44 in B&O in 1956 as a cataloged item, and I having a combine and just 2 coaches In B&O that are uncataloged, I can make a set that never was. Now for a set #. previous sets are: PRR "The Commter" 1954 Set # 410. LVRR "Wall Street" 1955 Set # 411. UPRR "The Surburbanite" 1954 Set # 415.
With 412 being taken by the NYC "Shuttle Bug" 413 and 414 are open. I'll just use the first Set number and call it 413.
B&O "The Clocker" 2023 Set # 413. Here is my rendition of the imaginary Set #413, the B&O Clocker of 2023.
A little History for U! About the "Clocker" train name. The Reading ran trains every hour on the hour between Phildalphia and New York City. They ran in both directions. I guess that this was rush hour traffic. These train sets were call Clocker's

My HObbyline uncataloged B&O passenger set #462. Has been posted in set of the week for Sept 24 to 30 2023. Photos there were almost a small one.
Here is a larger one of only the set. I put my other cars wtih it. I had 2 more combines and 2 coaches Maybe one car will show better than the other, and you can imagin just how nice this set was when new.
I've seen set's that did look new on auctioned online. They sold for alot more.
