Former N&W Business Cars in Norfolk Southern Service

[NW Mailing List]

Most N&W business cars are being done by North Bank lines. I have been providing info to them and have done exclusives in the past 30 plus years. Most society members have received cars from me over the years. I have even donated brass pieces for the raffle to support the society. The NS office cars are Southern as I have sent them the car diagram manual of all the drawings. Coach Yard is to do the N&W ex. Wabash dome, but they have not received enough orders.

Subject: Former N&W Business Cars in Norfolk Southern Service 

Fred Hill at the Coach Yard is thinking about producing Norfolk Southern Office cars in HO scale brass. 

I only model the Norfolk and Western. I do not model the Norfolk Southern. 

If he is going to produce Norfolk Southern Office cars, I will ask if he could consider making any earlier N&W versions. 

Unfortunately, I have absolutely no knowledge of Norfolk Southern Office cars or if any were former N&W business cars. For all I know the Norfolk Southern Office cars used on inspection trips came from the Southern Railway and have no N&W heritage. Or maybe they were acquired from other sources well after 1982. At least I do know that the diesel cab units powering the NS inspection trains have no Norfolk and Western DNA. 

I sure could use a list of Norfolk Southern Office cars and their previous N&W number. Pictures would also be great. 

Thanks in advance.
