PA-1's

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

According to the 1st Generation diesel book, three Wabash PA-2's were 
retired by N&W in 1965.  They were all renumbered (3850, 3852, 3853), but 
there is no record that any were repainted.
So a PA in solid blue with the half moon/hamburger herald would be a 
stretch, but still the closest you can probably get.
