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.</div><div>Stephen Rineair</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr" data-marker="__DIVIDER__"><div data-marker="__HEADERS__"><b>From: </b>"NW Mailing List" <nw-mailing-list@nwhs.org><br><b>To: </b>"NW Mailing List" <nw-mailing-list@nwhs.org>, "NW Modeling List" <nw-modeling-list@nwhs.org><br><b>Cc: </b>"NW Mailing List" <nw-mailing-list@nwhs.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Thursday, May 22, 2025 6:39:11 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Former N&W Business Cars in Norfolk Southern Service<br></div><div><br></div><div data-marker="__QUOTED_TEXT__"><div class="yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:'arial';font-size:16px"><div dir="ltr">Fred Hill at the Coach Yard is thinking about producing Norfolk Southern Office cars in HO scale brass.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I only model the Norfolk and Western.
