Accurate late steam era HO scale N&W freight car models?

[NW Modeling List]

So all of those (with the caveats you mentioned) are prototypical for late steam era N&W? Excellent, that's a better selection than I thought. Thank you very much, that's some very useful info.

        hello Aaron you and me both. I have started collecting freight cars as well. This is the way I started. 
        Walthers made a wooden 40' box car in the 80s.
        Accurail has a 40' outside braced 40' box car
        Roundhouse had a 40' standard and roundroof box cars
        Bowser makes the round roof box car 40' and 50' 
        Accurail had a 40' double door box car kit
        Roundhouse made a covered hopper kit
        Athearn makes a 40' and 50' flat car
        Athearn had done a 50' double door kit box car
        Athearn made a 62' mill gondola a few years ago
        Roundhouse made a 40' gondola one with 2 ribs on end and one with 3 ribs on end
        Ulrich made a 40' composite side gondola
        Walthers also made a 2 bay hopper, but it says H2a which is wrong
        Athearn makes a larger covered hopper
        Athearn makes a 2 bay peaked end hopper
        Accurail makes a 2 bay hopper
        Roundhouse made a 3 bay hopper Athearn will be rereleasing them in march yeah!! can't wait!
        Bowser makes the 2 bay fishbelly hopper
        and last the caboose kit is offered by AMB Laser kits.
        just thought I'd share my info with you. tony putnam

          This is my first post to the list, and I'm certain this question has been asked before, probably many times. However I have not seen an answer to it online, and as such I'm asking here, since I figure it's unlikely there's a group more knowlegable on the subject.

          My question is, can anyone give me a list, or even just a few recomendations, of decently prototypically accurate HO scale models of late steam era N&W freight cars, preferably plastic kits, or RTR plastic, though craftsman kits are fine if there's no decent plastic alternative. I want to put togather a couple of N&W freight trains, one general freight, one a coal drag, and I need to know what reasonably priced options there are out there. I know almost nothing about what's available in the way of decently accurate models, asside from the bowser fishbelly 55 ton and the BLI H2a.

          Any and all information you can give me, be it information on specific models, or a link to somewhere I can find this information, will be greatly appreciated.
