I have seen a late 30's-early 40's hopper.
I think I've also seen a box car, but not sure.

Since the "builder's photos" were mostly taken west of Shaffer's, the engines would naturally be headed west, having come out of the shops running forward. (Sounds good to me!?)

Thanks, I haven't looked at these in years!

  Subject: How Many Loco "Builder's Cards" Did N&W Publish?


  We have all seen those 4 x 10" cards that the N&W published, with photos of its engines.  Some had statistics printed on the back.  Some were photographic prints and some were printed by "letter press" (a screened image done on a printing press.)

  Has anyone ever catalogued how many of these "builder's cards" were issued?

  Here's a list of what I have.  Does anyone know if there were more?

  1.  2092, blue letter press print stating on the front "On exhibit at Roanoke, May 5, 1934."

  2.  2197, photographic print

  3.  1238, photographic print

  4.  125 (streamlined,) photographic print

  5.  600 (streamlined,) photographic print; also issued as a color letter press blotter

  6.  201, letter press

  7.  2300, letter press

  I think there was also a "builder's card" of a box car

  And one final question...  Any idea why all the photos are of the left sides of engines, instead of the right sides?
