"Pocahontas" consist ?

[NW Modeling List]

I assume the time period is around 1960-65. The consist would vary a bit
from day to day and place. It would also vary a bit by whether the train
is eastbound or westbound. At Lynchburg in the early 1960's a typical
consist westbound might be:
 
1 RPO
1 Express
3 passenger
1 diner
1 lounge
1 Pullman
 
Eastbound would have 2 additional mail/express cars.
 
By 1962 or so the lounge was gone.
 
On Sunday and days around college holidays, the number of passenger cars
could increase up to 5 or so.

	HELP PLEASE !
	 
	A postcard view shows a GP-9 powered  "Pocahontas" at a station
stop.  Unfortunately for me only the front end of the train is shown,
not the consist.  Would some kind modeler clue me in regarding a typical
"Pocahontas" consist during that time period ?
	 
	I have kit bashed a Norfolk and Weatern GP-9 from a shell and
dynamic brake blisters  won on ebay added to the frame and motors of a
Williams Norfolk Southern GP-9 (I model BEFORE the Norfolk Southern was
born) to come up with a good approximation of the motive power and would
like to add the correct consist behind it.
	 
	Thanks in advance for your kind response.
	 
	P S  Anyone need a fully trimmed Norfolk Southern GP-9 shell ?
