50450

[NW Modeling List]

 There were up to 500 B-7's (series 47500-47999) and up to 500 B-7a's  (series 50000-50498) By 1966 they were down to 416 and 375 respectively. Originally built by Roanoke in 1929-30, they were rebuilt into B-7's in 1945-46 and to B-7a's in 1948-49.

 I think the 50450 may be the most known N&W car due to the movie followed by the R-W-B Bicentennial hopper.
Was the B-7a class large in numbers? What era are they from?

  It is a B7a, which is a Roanoke rebuild of an older car. You would have to kitbash or scratchbuild, since it does not resemble an ARR design car (which is the basis of most HO models).

 Hello everybody I was wondering if anybody here knew what kind of boxcar the N&W 50450 is. I always found that car neat and was wondering if any of you guys know what kind of car it is and if it’s ever been made in ho scale?

Sincerely,
Jeff Mueller
