Walthers PS 10-6 Sleeper

[NW Modeling List]

Ed; The N&W, L&N and RF&P were all painted in PRR Tuscan with the three gold stripes. I have seen N&W, PRR and RF&P cars sitting in the coach yard at Norfolk having arrived on the Cannonball from Richmond. They all matched each other in color. Two other PRR cars could also be found in the Norfolk yard in the morning. These two would be a P85br coach or a PRR 10-6 from the Pocahontas the afternoon before. The PRR coach seemed to be a darker tuscan than the Pullmans but that was a long time ago.  Harold

Weren't both the N&W and RF&P cars painted in PRR Tuscan to match the PRR trains?  Seems one of the RF&P cars was at Broad St Station in Richmond in the early 70's when I was in college near-by.  If my memory serves me well I remember it being PRR Tuscan……… (or at least darker than N&W red).   Can anyone validate the PRR Tuscan on the N&W and RF&P cars?

Brian, 

 

I contacted Walthers via their website by clicking on Customer Service and then Contact Us.

 

The response I got from CS was from Joanne at this email address:

 

joannep at walthers.com

Hopefully enough people will ask that we can get them to change their minds about doing the S-2.

Roger,

Do you have a certain contact that you were using? If others are going to contact Walthers 
then we should probably coordinate our efforts by talking with the same person.

Thanks,
Brian D.

I just got an email from Walthers. I had been in contact with them concerning the approaching HO model of the RF&P PS 10-6 model. I asked if they could also do them as N&W S-2 sleepers (Sussex County, Buchanan County & McDowell County) and the 3 L&N cars in the same plan 4140 series.

 

They said their marketing & research dept didn't see any need for these paint schemes.

 

I had planned to buy 4 or 5 and paint them myself for the N&W and a couple RF&P cars but would prefer to buy them RTR from Walthers. If anyone else would like these cars to be made available from them I would suggest you email, call or write and ask that they be made. Perhaps the marketing & research dept would make us happy!
