NW Dynamometer car

[NW Modeling List]

Pictures available by Google search show at least three different
variations in painting of the N&W dynamometer car, one of which is like
Jerry describes (with the door frame also painted black), one has the
kickplate and the entire door black, and one has the side entirely red.  At
least, courtesy of Richard Shell, we now have correct decals!
