The NS28 was N&W 501 which was a P1 coach/dormatory. At first it had a coach section, a smoking section and the domatory section. In the late 1950s it was rebuilt into a full coach. To make a full coach addition windows had to be added to one side. Therefore there are no models that exactly duplicate NS28 on window layout. NS29 is a former N&W P3 full coach and no changes have been made to the window configuration. Hollins College was a former Wabash ACF 4-12 sleeper. It was reconfigured into a 4-11 sleeper by the addition of a shower in place of one of the roomettes.  Harold Davenport

>"Divided" refers to the Jim Crow laws requiring segregation of the races.? No need to include that in any business cars you model.


This was the original floorplan for the cars, which were later rebuilt to the configuration you refer to as "normal."

Here are some shots of these cars as NS...
