NW Depressed Center Flat Car

[NW Modeling List]

Phil,
Looks like a sister to the one in the picture I am attaching.  With most of
these "odd" flats, N&W would only have a scant handful of a particular
type, sometimes only a couple.  Can't tell about the trucks from the
computer pictures on the web site.  You might want to see if they can/will
provide that information.  Always nice to have another accurate N&W model
available.
