NW Depressed Center Flat Car

[NW Modeling List]

If it were me I would wait on the Class One Model flats as they will be correct for the NW and save all the hassles.

Subject: NW Depressed Center Flat Car

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. https://classonemodelworks.com/product-category/model-type/flat-cars/
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.
