Classic Trains Summer 2008

[NW Mailing List]

 The graphic and prototype photo of the Rice Lake don't show the, so that reinforces my initial suspicion that you're correct.

Island Rose and Island Regal had small upper berth windows in the letter board; I don't know that the Branchline model will have this feature; I believe the majority of 10-1-1 cars did not have these upper berth windows; however, they could be added to the model.

Chasing this rabbit a bit farther...
The Branchline Trains web page says their 10-1-1 with island Rose and Island Regal is "coming soon".

>From the drawing it looks like Tuscan with gold lettering and a black roof. The heavyweight coach they produced has Dulux lettering and a black roof, which might be right for the two cars equipped with coal stoves for mixed train service...

Pardon me if this has already been covered on this list.

I am just getting around to reading the Summer 2008 issue of Classic Trains which features extensive coverage on Pullman operations.? There are two items of interest to N&W fans.


?


First, on page 40 is a chart that shows the movement of westbound Pullman cars through Harrisburg, PA in a two hour period in summer, 1952.? One of the routes shown originates in New York, through Harrisburg, and terminates in Roanoke.? The N&W portion of this route would be covered by Trains 1 & 2 over the Shenandoah Valley line.? The type of cars referenced in the chart used on this route at this time were 10-1-1, as well as 10-6.


?



>From the N&W side of the pool, the 10-1-1 cars would have been the heavyweight Island Rose and Island Regal.? The 10-6 cars would have been the lightweight S-1 or S-2 sleepers.



?


Perhaps of more interest, on page 56, is a color photograph of the heavyweight Cuttyhunk in its N&W stenciling.? The Cuttyhunk was a 2410 Pullman plan, which was superceded by the 3410 plan.? I believe the exterior dimensions and window arrangements were basically identical in these plans, with the difference being mainly interior arrangements and dimensions.? Prior to N&W ownership, the Cuttyhunk was a pool car assigned to Pennsy.? The photo on page 56 was taken on June 25, 1955 in Orlando, FL.
