Con-Cor PK Coaches

[NW Modeling List]

Nigel: I don't know what happened to my reply to you earlier this afternoon. Only part of the first paragraph came through. What I was going to say was that with the elimination of many of the coal branch locals the cars all became surplus and were scraped. Con-Cor is offering each of the three types of car, i.e. coach, combine and RPO, in two car sets for $118.00. The "N&W" lettering is correct for the time period since the "N and W" was not adopted until 1949. I believe the cars will sell well and plan to buy a set of each type. 
 
      For those looking for heavyweigth brass N&W cars, Division Point has just received the N&W M1 RPO and will be shipping out to dealers later this week. If you don't like the paint scheme you can blame me. 
 
      The next N&W passenger car release will come in November from MTH. The five-car Powhatan Arrow train set will be offered for about $300 and extra coaches and diners will also be available for about $60 each. The pictures of the Arrow cars on the MTH website look great and I am sure they will sell out fast. 
 
      The N&WHS has made several requests of Walthers to offer the Pullman Standard smoth-side 10-6 sleeper in Pennsy tuscan and stripping to match the three N&W county series S2 sleepers that were purchased in 1949. These cars operated on interline pullman routes between N&W and Pennsy. The RF&P also purchased three cars in Pennsy dress except for road name on the letterboard and car name at the same time. The RF&P cars will be available for Walthers later this year. All I can say is that I must have been too aggresive with Walthers concerning the N&W cars as they keep postponing the N&W sleepers to some future run. 
 
   All we N&W fans need now to complete our streamlined passenger cars are good models of PM coaches, as both coaches and lounges, and the S1 Budd built sleepers. 
 
   While this fall is yielding some great N&W specific passenger cars, we need to keep pushing for the S2 sleepers from Walthers as well as look for a builder, or importer, for the Pm's and S2's.  Your model committee is keeping an eye out for any interest by the manufacturing community.  Harold Davenport - Chairman Modeling Committee N&WHS

Hi;
 
They appear to be excellent models - fortunately or unfortunately, they fall outside my focus years, and thus I will not be purchasing any.

Nigel: I went to the Con-Cor website and looked at the Pennsy cars. They are Great. N&W purchased these cars in 1934 for branch line trains including a number of such trains operation in the coal fields. The prime reason they were off the roster by 1949 was a general elimination of

Also, Mr. French's book states that they were acquired in 1934 and off the rooster by 1949.

Page 73 of the Williamson Terminal book shows all 3 cars, PK coach, BMj RPO, and BPg combine, that N&W bought from Pennsy, the same 3 cars Con-Cor is doing.

I think they also bought some of the combines but I don't have my other references handy. If somebody else knows off hand please chip in.
