Tangent Drop Gons?

[NW Modeling List]

Stephen;

 

Number series are as follows:

 

Wabash - 12600-12649

NW - 312600-312649 (G63)

 

I've looked at Fallen Flags and cannot find a copy of an image. The biggest issue I foresee is finding a good image of the car in N&W Paint as there were only 50 built.

That certainly is a possiblility, as I have thought about having David do the car in N&W and N&W MOW, if pictures can be found. I will do some digging photographically next week, while enjoying Thanksgiving and put a package together. If anyone else can contribute to the cause it would be appreciated. Please contact me off-line at r m g n w 6 1 1 at m s n dot c o m (Remove spaces and insert @ and .) If Bob Bowers reads this, please contact me regarding this issue as well.
 
Regards,
Russ

Thanks for the help Russ! Maybe we could get then in N&W someday. Is this a possibility for the modeling committee?

At some point they were re-painted into N&W. N&W classed them as G63's in the 312600-312649 number series. Being that they were originally built in '51, they would have lasted in interchange service until '91. According to my 1995 NS Freight car diagram books, there are none left in service at that time, including in MOW Service.
 
Hope this helps.

Question?
Does anyone know if the Wabash ACF 70-ton welded Drop-end Gondola (by Tangent Models) got repainted  in the N&W scheme?
Thanks,
