N&W 6004xx Series Boxcars

[NW Mailing List]

Athearn in their HO scale Genesis line offered a 60' Pullman-Standard
auto parts boxcar lettered for N&W. The I have is number 600407. It is
brown, with a small half moon herald in the upper left corner, N&W
reporting marks without serifs, and a large NORFOLK & WESTERN to the
right of the double plug doors. Most interestingly, it appears to be a
paint out or patch job. Athearn did not put a class number on it, and
I cannot find any references to the cars in the Archives nor in my N&W
freight car equipment diagram books, other than the number series
listed in the index with no description. 
Does anyone know what the history is of these cars, who the original
owner was, and when they served on N&W?
ThanksMarty Flick
