NW Depressed Center Flat Car

[NW Modeling List]

I've attached a photo I took of an NW depressed center flat car that I saw
during a NWHS tour of the Roanoke Shops long ago, when we saw TopGon cars
being built. 

I can make out NW markings on it, but can't make out a car number on the
side or end.

Does anyone know what number(s) this type of car might have been owned by
NW? I couldn't find a car like this in the archives or searching internet
sites.


Also, would this NW car have had wood decking on the raised ends? I think
I'm seeing that on the car in the photo.

A company is making HO-scale models of cars like these and appear to have
the correct trucks, but no N&W cars are listed.

Most of the cars they're producing have wood decking on the raised parts.
Southern Rwy cars have metal grate decking on the raised parts.

I was thinking if I got one of these for Erie railroad, that the car is
black with wood decking and could be relabeled to an NW car and number. 

 

Any assistance is appreciated.
