I read your post on the rec.model.railroad newsgroup regarding Life-Like's 
GP-18's. Since I have no easy way of posting to the newsgroup, I thought I'd 
pass this on to you and you could forward it to the newsgroup.

Life-Like will be releasing their low-nose GP18's (w/dynamic brakes) at the 
end of the year. Included in their run will be NYS&W nos. 1802 and 1804. How 
do I know this? I was involved with the research for it. I provided pictures 
and paint matches for them. The units will be in the new "Rome Loco" scheme, 
with the black from the roof dropping down the side about a foot. I just hope 
that Life-Like gets the lettering correct, or I will be one unhappy camper. 
Otherwise, I'll just get some undec's and paint 'em up myself.
