Kadee HO Scale PS-2 Covered Hopper

[NW Modeling List]

Good luck trying to get Kadee to letter a car for N&W when the model 
is not quite correct.  The Kadee folks are very particular about 
this.  When they came out with their first PS-1 boxcar, they didn't 
issue it lettered for southern roads.  The reason was that most PS-1 
production in the south came from PS's Birmingham shop, and the cars 
were slightly different from the PS-1 model.  When diework for the 
Birmingham cars was made, then we saw cars lettered for southern 
railroads, like Seaboard for example.  With Kadee it's not like the 
old days when a generic model was considered close enough.
