N&W passenger cars

[NW Modeling List]

Jim:
 
When they made the announcement, I did the same research as you, and,  
unfortunately, came to exactly the same conclusion.
 
However, for those of us who do run consists from other neighbor roads, it  
does appear to be accurate for at least one class of B&O coaches.

Walthers is releasing an 85' Pullman Standard smooth side 56 seat  coach.  
They will offer it decorated for N&W.  The window  arrangement of the model 
does not match any prototype N&W coach that I am  aware of.  Caveat emptor!

Lee: 
MTH  produced a 5 car Powhatan Arrow set in HO, with interiors and interior 
 lighting; see http://mthtrains.com/news/475.  I can’t speak to the  
accuracy of the window placements, etc, but the MTH passenger cars have always  
had a great appearance and they run well. 
Overland,  Key and Sunset all produced brass sets.  The Key and Sunset sets 
did not  have interiors; I’m not sure about the Overland set, but the 
latter usually  bring over $1500 on eBay, whereas the Key sets can be had for 
$500 -  $700. 
Key,  Roanoke Rails, and Balboa produced single cars as well, all without  
interiors.  I don’t think the RR or Balboa cars came factory painted, but  
am not sure.  The RR S1 10-6 sleepers look pretty good to me, if you can  
paint.  Key offered at least the P3 coaches individually. 
Division  Point produced the BEj, an RPO (#96 at least), a diner (#1024 at 
least), and  Business Car 101.  All are gorgeous, and priced accordingly—the 
diner  alone will probably set you back more than the entire MTH set. At 
least the  baggage, diner and business car were offered in both tuscan and 
blue  colors. 
Railworks  produced several very nice variants of the PRR BM-60b 
baggage/mail cars.   If you get the variant with the wagon-top roof, no vents, you can 
add the 4  globe vents over the 15’ RPO area to make a good replica of a 
N&W  BMj.  (Check photos for vent type and placement.) 
If  you’re modeling an excursion train, they will probably run a generic 
LWT  baggage or two up front, rather than a BEj.  A Walthers or Rapido model  
would probably work fine. 
And,  finally, it’s worth a trip to the Tennessee Valley RR Museum 
(http://www.tvrail.com/pages/ride-the-train) to look at their  restored N&W 
passenger cars (and a lot of other cool stuff as well—neat  place!)

Good evening,  

Does anyone know if  any of the model manufacturers will be producing N or 
HO scale passenger cars  with the return of the 611?  I have the newer N 
Scale Bachmann 611 and  wondered if Kato, etc has approached the NWHS about 
passenger cars.  

Thank you,  

Lee  Burns
