Quality and resonable replica of the N&W heavy's?

[NW Modeling List]

I've done exactly as Marty suggests with my Spectrum coaches  and diner.  The 
biggest issue with the Spectrum coach is that it's based on  the PRR P-70, 
which is a "paired window" car.  The N&W Pg was a "single  window" car.  Several 
recent offerings (e.g. Branchline, among others) have  the same issue.  From 
six feet away 99% won't see the difference.  If  that doesn't bother you, go 
for it!

The  coach, combine, and diner all make decent stand-ins right out of the  
box.  The coach is a PG, the combine a BPd, and the diner a DE.   If you 
wanted to make them closer, I'd probably start with the roofs of  the coach 
and the combine by removing the vents on top.  The biggest  problem with the 
diner appears to be the doors.  The model has them  on opposite ends of the 
car, while the DE had both doors on the same  end.  The observation needs 
some major window alterations to even  resemble an N&W business car.
