Does anyone know now may cars were in the 1300 series of Baggage Express
cars class BEg? The N&W handbook by Wallace and Wiley shows a picture of
#1306 and below it a picture of an Athearn baggage car mis-identified as a
class BMf. Its hard to make out the number on the Athearn. The Athearn car
seems to be about the closest model available of a 1300, except it is
one-two scale feet short, and the doors are too far apart. Warden's book
about N&W Passenger Service 1946-1971 fails to even identify the class even
though there are numerous pictures of these cars showing up in the Cavalier
and Pocahantas not to mention locals or other trains.
