General William Mahone (493) and Frederick J. Kimball (494) were  
lightweight Pullman built diners for the Pocahontas (identical to 491 &  492 for the 
Powhatan Arrow). The rest of the named cars were sleepers, mostly  Budd 
built (20 of them), three Pullman built lightweights (Buchanan, McDowell  & 
Sussex Counties), and your decal probably has some names for heavyweight  
sleepers. On the Powhatan Arrow, 501 & 502 were coach-locker cars, 511  & 512 were 
two compartment coaches, and 531-540 were straight coaches. 491  & 492 
wwere diners and 581 &582 were observations. All were Pullman  built in 1949. 
The Pocahontas then got the 1941 Pullman built coaches  1723-1734 and three 
which had been converted to tavern-lounge-dorms  (1720-1722). Each Pocahontas 
consist had 3 Budd built sleepers (west of  Roanoke. Just one east of there) 
and one heavyweight 10-section-lounge which  was painted in N&W livery but 
still lettered for Pullman. There was a 60  foor RPO and a few other head 
end cars (railway express and mail storage). All  the head end cars were 
heavyweights. Hope this helps.   Jim  Nichols

Subject: Fwd: Car Listing  for Powhatan Arrow / Pocahontas

Gentlemen:

I am trying to model the POWHATAN ARROW /  POCAHONTAS in N scale.  I 
recently bought a set of the nice decals from  your online site.  Now, I am in 
search of a car list for the post World  War II cars that would have been 
pulled by the J series locos.  I am  interested in the following info:

Car  Manufacturer:          Budd,  Pullman, etc

Car  Types:                     Coaches, Dining, Baggage, RPO, Observation, 
etc.

Car  Numbers:                 For instance, #581 is a 
lounge-tavern-observation car

Car  Names:                    I am especially interested in the name cars 
which all I have been able to  uncover is that they were sleepers

Any help you can provide would  be greatly appreciated.

Steve  Pohlmann
