NKP Car Company Model

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

Don't know the difference between the three floorplans, but this looks 
like it is the best bet we have to get close to the cars that ran on the 
N&W at least into the 1950's. The four mentioned had "County" added to 
their names by then.  The Norfolk County was similar, but had a 
vestibule on each end, whereas the others had a solarium blind end 
(lounge end).  Jim Nichols
