Listers,
A product review in the most recent issue of Model Railroader 
magazine (May 2006) on the Walther's Pennsy RR baggage car caught my 
attention in that it is also being offered in N&W livery.
I have a couple of questions for any and all:
How closely does this represent the baggage express car operated by 
the N&W (the designation, I think, is BJe)?
I have seen a couple of pictures of this car in the book "Color Guide 
to N&W" and both have the celestory roof.  The Walther's site shows 
only the "contoured" roof that was fitted later to help the car blend 
in with the newer "streamlined" passenger trains. (I hope I'm getting 
my terminology right-if not, I'm sure I'll be corrected ;)  Did the 
N&W have any that had the "newer" roof?
Any general observations about the model?
Thanks for any and all responses.

P.S.  I think it's great when folks are willing to take the time and 
effort to help keep the proper railroad terms in use-especailly for 
those of us that haven't been really exposed to "real 
railroads".  Keep up the good work.
