Hi Ed

that's great and thanks. No Railroad at present but one day. 

I find this a very good and friendly group.

Hey, Barry - 
 
It's your railroad.  If you 
want to run a Challenger on it, do so.  Anybody who objects just 
doesn't get invited back!
 
The closest a Challenger ever got to the N&W 
was when the Clinchfield engines crossed the N&W's Clinch Valley District at 
St. Paul.
 
The mighty UP never let its superior power be 
sullied by operating it on the N&W.  8^)

Hi Barry;
 
The N&W did not get involved until the after the 
merger of 1964, when amongst others, the Wabash and Nickel Plate were merged 
into the N&W.

Hi

Am I correct that this service was running in the 
  early 1950's and if so did UP steam ever get onto N&W metals, as far as is 
  known?

I have a Rivarossi UP Challenger which I have got going and 
  fitted up to work on DCC, which she does very well. I wonder if they would 
  ever have got onto the N&W system?  

Just an idle late night 
  thought!

  Barry,
   
  I don't know the exact details but I am researching them right now 
  myself.
   
  I do know they were used in some type of pool service with Union Pacific 
  and other railroads.
   
  I remember seeing a dome and another car in Roanoke in the late 
  60's.
   
  The car names are Western Lake, National Unity, Western View, Western 
  Sunset, National Homes, Western Scene, and National Colors.
   
  The car numbers are 202, 203, 1427, 1428, 1419, 1430, 1612, 1613, 1834, 
  1835, 1836 and 1837.
   
  I have attached a photo of dome 1613. The cars had 2.5 inch red stripes 
  on the top and 5 inch stripes along the bottom.
   
  Thanks,
   
  Richard D. Shell

  Hi

Can somebody please explain about N & W cars being

Many

    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,

I find that this is not the greatest sight to do a 
      product survey. There always seem to be little support for anything unless 
      it's free and O scalars are limited here.
I believe you need to look at 
      what N&W products are out there for the O scale decals. Little if any! 
      Therefore I would not produce something
that there is no product to use 
      on. I have some of Sam Putneys O scale passenger car decals and have only 
      used them once on an O Scale 
American Models passenger car about 20 
      years ago.
Just an observation.   Stephen

I recently introduced our HO and N Scale N&W 
      Passenger Car decal set 
and they have sold very well. My question is, 
      is there a market for 
these in O Scale? I have gotten one request so 
      far to make them in O. 
Just curious if the O Modelers would like to 
      see this set produced. The 
art is complete already and they could be 
      available in as little as six 
weeks. I would estimate the cost to be 
      around $8.99 per set and they 
would do one 
      car.

Thanks,
