Have any HO scale models of the N&W PJ coach been produced? The
Virginian Railway leased # 1702 & 1703 for a short time after the
Virginian State Corporation rule that the VGN must make a sincere effort
to increase ridership by offering improved equipment (from Aubrey
Wiley's Virginian Railway Memories). Thanks, Bob Cook Chesapeake, VA
