For all N&W designers & engineers would rather gloss over this class that didn't live up to their expectation and are cited as blot on the Roanoke Shops' drawing board, I have always quite liked them and models won't hammer the track like the prototypes so
I have always wanted to add one to my roster. Yes I know they were gone by 1944 and I model 1953-6 but rule #1 applies and atleast one didn't get sold...</div>

What was going to be a simple, buy a model, paint it and put into service, became getting a second one already painted and then noticing differences... Only one model run so not a variation. Turns out the painted model was of a D&RGW M-69, which is what they
became when 4 of them were sold. I noticed some of the details present on the M-69 were visible on pictures of K3s later in service on N&W so I'm in the process of trying to work out what changes were made to the K3s from as delivered to when they were sold
in 43/44. </div>

I have managed to trace history of all 10 through RF&P/D&RGW to W&LE and to NKP ownership. I've found pictures of most at some point in their careers and some I've found a picture in each corporate livery. Ironically pictures of them in N&W service are the
hardest to find.</div>

My gut feeling at the moment is that a D&RGW M-69 may be the better starting point for an end of N&W service K3 than an as delivered N&W K3. </div>
