Jim:

Yes, that's exactly what I found.  

Thanks,

Dave

Dave,

My understanding is the coach is based on a  B&O prototype that was used on 
its Columbian train.

Jim:

When they made the announcement, I did the same research as you, and,  
unfortunately, came to exactly the same conclusion.

However, for those of us who do run consists from other neighbor roads,  it 
does appear to be accurate for at least one class of B&O coaches.

Walthers is releasing an 85' Pullman Standard smooth side 56 seat  coach.  
They will offer it decorated for N&W.  The window  arrangement of the model 
does not match any prototype N&W coach that I  am aware of.  Caveat emptor!

Lee: 
MTH  produced a 5 car Powhatan Arrow set in HO, with interiors and interior 
 lighting; see http://mthtrains.com/news/475.   I can’t speak to the 
accuracy of the window placements, etc, but the MTH  passenger cars have always 
had a great appearance and they run  well. 
Overland,  Key and Sunset all produced brass sets.  The Key and Sunset sets 
did  not have interiors; I’m not sure about the Overland set, but the 
latter  usually bring over $1500 on eBay, whereas the Key sets can be had for 
$500 -  $700. 
Key,  Roanoke Rails, and Balboa produced single cars as well, all without  
interiors.  I don’t think the RR or Balboa cars came factory painted,  but 
am not sure.  The RR S1 10-6 sleepers look pretty good to me, if  you can 
paint.  Key offered at least the P3 coaches  individually. 
Division  Point produced the BEj, an RPO (#96 at least), a diner (#1024 at 
least), and  Business Car 101.  All are gorgeous, and priced accordingly—the 
diner  alone will probably set you back more than the entire MTH set. At 
least the  baggage, diner and business car were offered in both tuscan and 
blue  colors. 
Railworks  produced several very nice variants of the PRR BM-60b 
baggage/mail  cars.  If you get the variant with the wagon-top roof, no vents, you  
can add the 4 globe vents over the 15’ RPO area to make a good replica of a  
N&W BMj.  (Check photos for vent type and placement.) 
If  you’re modeling an excursion train, they will probably run a generic 
LWT  baggage or two up front, rather than a BEj.  A Walthers or Rapido model  
would probably work fine. 
And,  finally, it’s worth a trip to the Tennessee Valley RR Museum 
(http://www.tvrail.com/pages/ride-the-train)  to look at their restored N&W 
passenger cars (and a lot of other cool  stuff as well—neat place!)

Good  evening, 

Does  anyone know if any of the model manufacturers will be producing N or 
HO  scale passenger cars with the return of the 611?  I have the newer N  
Scale Bachmann 611 and wondered if Kato, etc has approached the NWHS about  
passenger cars.   

Thank  you, 

Lee  Burns
