NW #1506 Combine - Pics

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

I remember riding in an N&W heavyweight coach from Petersburg to  
Christiansburg in 1955.  (I was going to Old Dominion Boys State @ VPI 
(?))  I loved the tall windows, which made the coach seem so  
light.    It also rode very well (or at least, better than the RF&P  
or Clothes Line lightweight I had ridden from Quantico).  Did the  
remaining heavyweights of the time have six-wheel trucks?
I believe it also had reclining seats and photo murals at the ends.   
I was impressed!

Comments?

Sorry for my delay in getting these photos posted of the NW #1506  
Combine.  The NCTM bought the combine from the Old Dominion Chapter  
NRHS in 2003 and completed the restoration this summer.  The coach  
compartment had to be re-built.  I have other pictures if anyone is  
interested.  The photos are of its arrival, the rebuilt coach  
compartment framing and when it was dedicated on July 15th by wick  
Moorman during NS Heritage Day at the NC Transportation Museum.
