N&W Passenger Cars in Armour Yellow Paint

[NW Mailing List]

Jim,

I will be honest and declare that I am not even a novice about passenger equipment. I will tell you the only time Amour Yellow looks good on anything, is when it's on a hot dog wrapper.

Hopefully, Richard will see this and chime in with info on his source materials.

Regards
Russ Goodwin

Russ,

With all due respect to Richard Shell, I have not seen a photo of 1612 in yellow; I have several photos/slides of 1612 with the blue letter board and N&W stenciling; here is one from the archives of 1612:

Here is the 1613 in Armour Yellow:

And here is the 1836:

I could not locate any other photos of former Wabash diners, sleepers or coaches in the Armour Yellow scheme with N&W stenciling.

I would love to see any additional photographs/slides of former Wabash passenger equipment in the Armour Yellow scheme with N&W stenciling.

Jim Brewer

Here is a question which perhaps only Mr. Gordon Hamilton can answer...

Who, in the N&W's pecking order, had the final call on names applied to Pullmans?  At what level did a naming suggestion originate, and how far up the chain-of-grandeur did the suggestion have to progress before it was considered blessed for implementation?
