N&W K question

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

Bob,
 
In the Durham District K1 class locomotives Nos. 107, 112, and 113 were  used 
on passenger trains #35 and #36 between Lynchburg and Durham, NC.  The  were 
not shrouded.  This ended in August of 1954 with Nos. 107 and 112 when  
passenger service was discontinued.  I do not know if they stayed in the  Durham 
District or were moved elsewhere.  These locomotives were not  retired until 
1958, although I am not sure about this date.
 
In the VT Data base there are several pictures of 107 and 113, but the  
pictures of 107 were when it was temporarily converted into an oil burning  
locomotive in the late 1946.  I believe there are also pictures in the  N&WHS 
Archives.
 
I have been interested in the doing the same thing to recreate No. 107 on  
train No. 35.  I'll be interested in hearing from you about your progress  if 
you decide to do this.

Were any of the N&W K's in service in 1953 or so that were NOT  streamlined? 
I am thinking of getting one of the Spectrum 4-8-2 units and  kit-bashing it 
to match N&W but need to know if it would be anywhere near  historically 
accurate....
