New Scale Trains Heavyweights

[NW Modeling List]

Walter,
The diner is decorated for N&W class DE #1024.  On one side the window
arrangement is close, but no cigar while the other side is completely
wrong.  Also, the AC ducting is wrong.
The coach is decorated for an N&W class Pg.  Jim Nichols did a very nice
presentation on modeling this class of cars at last year's convention.  the
number of windows is correct, but the lavatory windows and doors are
wrong.  also the lower panels and riveting are incorrect.
The baggage is decorated for an N&W class BEg.  In this case the model has
two identical doors spaced nearer the ends of the car, whereas the BEg had
a single door and a double door spaced nearer the car center.
Whether these cars are "close enough" to be used as stand-ins is of course
in the eye of the beholder,
Jim Cochran     .
