Sunset annouces O scale Powhatan Arrow Cars

[NW Modeling List]

However, I have my questions about the brown roof on the Arrow as I remember the cover of the January 1950 issue of the Norfolk and Western Magazine, featuring the new cars for the Powhatan Arrow. It shows a view of the train from the rear, with black roofs. Of course, I am open to a legitimate explanation.

Harold,
     If one wants to believe Tom Dixon's "Arrow" book, there is a
Pullman-Standard builder's photo in there of diner #491 with Powhatan
Arrow clearly on the side of the car. Has the history of the different
paint schemes and logos been published? Maybe Jim or Ken can straighten
this thing out for those of us who don't know.
I must say that when I said they should be the as built versions, I had
completely forgot about the brown roof. I do not want a brown roof version.
