O Scale Passenger Car Decal Question

[NW Modeling List]

After the '64 merger there were some run through trains that had a dome lettered as N&W but
painted as UP. Below I've included one of my e-mails from August on the subject.



Walthers has announced the Union Pacific "City" trains as their next set of 
famous trains. If you model after the '64 merger some of these cars may be of interest to you,
including the domed coach. I've included links to the model and the prototype below. There 
were also articles in the March/April 2001 issue of The Arrow describing the joint service and 
how to model the 1613.

Hi

Can somebody please explain about N & W cars being painted in UP livery. Which, when and why would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Thanks for your honest input. I didn't know Sam had done the set in O. Sam, if you are listening... Do you still have some? I may have a customer for you!

I think I will hold off on that set for a while.

On another note, I am releasing our newest set, HO134, N134 and O134 in about 6 weeks. This set is for the N&W cars that were painted in Union Pacific colors. HO Scale proof is attached.

Thanks,
