VGN

[NW Mailing List]

If my memory serves correctly, Charlie Schlotthober unearthed records of
both VGN and N&W, leasing cars from PRR at some point, which caused the
resulting models after it was reported in "the Arrow". I don't think any
evidence of repaints ever surfaced, so the paint schemes are all
speculative. -Ed Burnett, Lynchburg, Virginia
