Pages 71 and 81 of Jim Wrinn's "Steam's Camelot" confirm the faded grey and black paint, but I don't know that either of them are that great for modeling.  Apparently the car belonged to Bluewater NRHS before being sold to NS.  Perhaps they would have pictures in their archives?

Good evening,

I’m wondering if anyone knows where I might find photos of the ex-CN baggage car 9647 that was used when 1218 was first restored in 1987. We rode behind 1218 the second day from Roanoke to Lynchburg and back.

I thought I had photos of the baggage car still in its CN gray and black paint with some running rust. I had made models of that car before and after repainting. I’m hoping to improve on my weathering of the pre-NW paint that was applied to it.

Unfortunately, I can’t find any photos of the car and I’m hoping someone can help me with finding some to use as references to apply weathering.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Phil Miller
