Walthers N&W S2 County Sleepers

[NW Modeling List]

Marty, I have very thin knowledge of N&W passenger equipment, but I need to start paying attention. 

When were these sleepers used? And, if you know, which trains were they used on?

They have Norfolk And Western on the letterboard and PRR style striping.  They are painted the same shade of brownish tuscan as their Pennsylvania passenger cars.  I believe this is correct for the cars' as delivered appearance.  Later they kept the PRR style striping but receive a truer N&W tuscan red.  Walthers has been producing very limited quantities of their passenger trains in recent years, so if interested you probably shouldn't delay in picking one up.

The next Walthers catalog won't be published until late 2023.
