N&W Pj coach

[NW Mailing List]

I haven't seen any models of the PJ cars in HO. I think the closest you can get without a total scratchbuilt is either splicing a pair of the Athearn Blue Box round roof coaches or using one of the Reading cars formerly made by Bethlehem Car Works (BCW).

  so far as I know, no HO models of the PJ have ever been produced. I kitbashed one for Grant Carpenter a few years ago, as they ran on 23 and 24.

Two photos of N&W Pj coaches built circa 1935 by Bethlehem Steel.

  

The broadside is of 1709 is in Hagerstown on train 13, late 1940’s. Phil Soring Collection.

  

The second photo is early 1950’s of train 4, The Pocahontas, in Petersburg, VA.

The Pj coach ran through Washington-Norfolk: RF&P 375 to Richmond, ACL 27 to Petersburg, 

and N&W 4 to Norfolk. Ahead of the Pj is S1 10-6 sleeper, Pullman 10-section lounge car,

and D1 diner. At the time of the photo, the two Pullmans ran Chicago-Norfolk.

This photo is an eBay find.
