 Jim,

I looked through my research materials on wooden N&W passenger cars.  I've
attached a scan of N&W 3, which was built in February 1881 by Bowers, Dure
& Company, Wilmington, Delaware.  My notes indicate this car was originally
acquired from predecessor AM&O; it was possibly renumbered N&W 6 to make
way for the second car to be numbered 3, which in my notes is reflected as
3:2.

3:2 is listed as second hand (SH) equipment in the ICC Valuation Report
with a built date of 1901; it is possibly acquired from Cincinnati,
Portsmouth & Virginia; however, the other equipment acquired with the
purchase of CP&V is identified as such in the ICC report.

So it is possible the image on eBay is 3:2.  I don't have any further
information or drawings of these early wood cars.
