MTH Arrow Car

[NW Modeling List]

I don't know of anyone currently with the 5 car N&W set, but The Train Station in Columbus, OH has all 3 separate N&W cars, plus the NS 5 car set and individual cars.

This is the other set with the car numbers ending in 2, except for the diner.  When MTH did their first run, they also offered diner 492 as a separate car.  For this run, the diner in the set is 494/Fredrick J Kimball, and the 493/General William Mahone is offered separately, along with a pair of P3 coaches with different numbers.  The other big change is the color of tuscan.  I personally felt the color on the first run was a little faded/purple/dull, something.  This new run features a richer color that is very close to the factory paint used by Key and Overland on their N&W passenger cars.  MTH has also released the N&W cars lettered for Norfolk Southern, based on excursion and business cars.  The diners and #29 coach are accurate, while the others are stand-ins.  The first run of MTH Arrow cars went fast, so I imagine these will, too.  Marty Flick
