Hi

Am I correct that this service was running in the early 1950's and if so did UP steam ever get onto N&W metals, as far as is known?

I have a Rivarossi UP Challenger which I have got going and fitted up to work on DCC, which she does very well. I wonder if they would ever have got onto the N&W system?  

Just an idle late night thought!

Barry,
 
I don't know the exact details but I am researching them right now 
myself.
 
I do know they were used in some type of pool service with Union Pacific 
and other railroads.
 
I remember seeing a dome and another car in Roanoke in the late 
60's.
 
The car names are Western Lake, National Unity, Western View, Western 
Sunset, National Homes, Western Scene, and National Colors.
 
The car numbers are 202, 203, 1427, 1428, 1419, 1430, 1612, 1613, 1834, 
1835, 1836 and 1837.
 
I have attached a photo of dome 1613. The cars had 2.5 inch red stripes on 
the top and 5 inch stripes along the bottom.
 
Thanks,
 
Richard D. Shell

  Thanks for your honest input. I didn't know Sam had done the set in O. 
  Sam, if you are listening... Do you still have some? I may have a customer for 
  you!
   
  I think I will hold off on that set for a while.
   
  On another note, I am releasing our newest set, HO134, N134 and O134 in 
  about 6 weeks. This set is for the N&W cars that were painted in Union 
  Pacific colors. HO Scale proof is attached.
   
  Thanks,

  Richard:
I find that this is not the greatest sight to do a 
    product survey. There always seem to be little support for anything unless 
    it's free and O scalars are limited here.
I believe you need to look at 
    what N&W products are out there for the O scale decals. Little if any! 
    Therefore I would not produce something
that there is no product to use 
    on. I have some of Sam Putneys O scale passenger car decals and have only 
    used them once on an O Scale 
American Models passenger car about 20 
    years ago.
Just an observation.   Stephen Rineair


I 
    recently introduced our HO and N Scale N&W Passenger Car decal set 
    
and they have sold very well. My question is, is there a market for 
    
these in O Scale? I have gotten one request so far to make them in O. 
    
Just curious if the O Modelers would like to see this set produced. The 
    
art is complete already and they could be available in as little as six 
    
weeks. I would estimate the cost to be around $8.99 per set and they 
    
would do one car.

Thanks,

Richard D. Shell
