For what it's worth????..Sunset, Samhongsa K-3's can often be found on eBay for as little as the $200's and seldom higher than $325.  It's a buyer's market these days!

There are several choices of a 2-8-2 with 63? drivers as a starting point for the chassis. The boiler? Check out the diameter of the courses on a USRA 2-8-8-2 boiler. Pretty much the same, just shorter. Of course you wouldn?t want to waste a Proto Y3, but how about the boiler from an AHM/Rivarossi Y6b? Biggest problem would be moving the cylinders for the 4 wheel lead truck and the new rods this would require. Tender, of course, is now available. Not true when Jim Teese did his E3, but his use of the Bachmann auxiliary (the old one) suggests that the new one would be a good economical starting place. Or you could just rob one from the Proto Y3.     Jim Nichols

.  Sunset offered a K3 by Samhongsa.  Bashing a K3 would be a bit more of a project.

Message-ID: <410-220091112223332282@earthlink.net>

Hello all; Just an observation. I recently received my Division Point RPO car and due to the numerous postings on the internet was expecting something almost garish. Well, it does not exactly match my Overland "Arrow" cars but given what I have seen in photos and the available tapes/DVDs it is certainly in the ball park. Perhaps I am too easily pleased, but I like it. Just my two cents. Dan Mulhearn

Dan: I agree with you. I received my RPO and yes it is lighter than the Overland cars. However, the color of the RPO is fine with me. To me it looks like a lead based tuscan that is starting to fade.??Harold Davenport?

 Division Point update! The BEj baggage car is going to have the "correct
red" ( mistake made at the painters on the M1 RPO).

Also the BEj car is going to be done in the later blue scheme.  I understand
only 10 blue cars may be produced so order early.

I'll put that on my "to do" list. BTW, I failed to mention that there
eventually was a third diner to XO conversion - the 400(2nd), which later
lost its number to an ex-Wabash car and wound up being sold to a private
owner who named it "Cannonball". While there were certain similarities to
the 101 and 102, the 400 was a quite different car. I probably should work
up some plans for it too. Who knows? One of them may end up being my contest
entry next year.     Jim Nichols

Jim,
The title is "Norfolk &Western Railway  Co. Diagrams of Passenger
Equipment"."Revised to 1967".
It shows a floor plan and side view including many business cars, some
annotated as conversions from DE dining cars.
I'm sure Tom Dixon has your address, but I don't have his!

I have a Society reprint, done by TLC Publishing, of the passenger car
pan book which is a first approximation of these plans of rebuilds.
While not to the level of detail which Jim is discussing it gives the
floor plan and general appearance.

 Division Point update! The BEj baggage car is going to have the ?correct red? ( mistake made at the painters on the M1 RPO).

Also the BEj car is going to be done in the later blue scheme.  I understand only 10 blue cars may be produced so order early.

Who do I contact about getting plans for the diner car that was built into the XO  business car? Stephen Rineair

There were very few G1's although they were almost identical to the much
larger G class.  After the late 1940's, there were only two of them (6 & 7),
which were based in Bluefield for use on the Honaker branch, which had
bridges that would not support a larger locomotive. They were retired in
1955 and donated, the 6 to Roanoke and the 7 to Bluefield, where both still
exist. 

 

The model is relatively old, though I don't know the year it was produced.
As far as I know, it was done only once, so they don't turn up very often.
Value is hard to estimate, but should be pretty good, due to fact that it is
rare.     Jim Nichols

I just got an email from Walthers. I had been in contact with them concerning the approaching HO model of the RF&P PS 10-6 model. I asked if they could also do them as N&W S-2 sleepers (Sussex County, Buchanan County & McDowell County) and the 3 L&N cars in the same plan 4140 series.
?
They said their marketing & research dept didn't see any need for these paint schemes.
?
I had planned to buy?4 or 5?and paint them myself for the N&W and a couple RF&P cars but would prefer to buy them RTR from Walthers. If anyone else would like these cars to be made available from them I would suggest you email, call or write and ask that they be made. Perhaps the marketing & research dept would make us happy!

I was a custom painter for over 20+ years and painted several of the Alco Models N&W G-1s. They were not the best quality engines Alco Models imported! Every one I dealt with had running problems. First off, the gearbox was sloppy and needed to be replaced with one from NWSL or Precision. The second problem I encountered was the large amount of clearance between the axle bearings and the frame slots. This allowed the drivers to move fore and aft which isn't a good thing for running smoothly. The other item I saw was the holes in the rods for the crank screws were too large amplifying the sloppy mechanism problems. A couple required new motors due to burning out. I considered this a result of the poor construction noted and trying to force it to run. The details and workmanship on the boiler and tender seemed to not be anything more than a few parts loose.
?
With a new gearbox and some shimming it could be made to run very smoothly and reliably. The N&W didn't have many and they were only kept until the end as Jim Nichols said for the Honaker Branch. They were quite handsome, to me, and I wish they had been better models.
?
They show up fairly often on ebay and in some brass shops. I think they are going for prices that do not reflect the quality of the engines as much as the novelty and less-than-common availability of the models. The last one I saw on ebay was over $350 which considering the amount of work to make one work well is way over priced.

Roger: I have contacted Walthers several times on behalf of the N&WHS regarding these pullman cars. At least you got a reply. The second time I proposed that the N&WHS purchase 600 pullman cars painted and lettered for N&W but got no response.? I have given up on Walthers.

I just got an email from Walthers. I had been in contact with them concerning the approaching HO model of the RF&P PS 10-6 model. I asked if they could also do them as N&W S-2 sleepers (Sussex County, Buchanan County & McDowell County) and the 3 L&N cars in the same plan 4140 series.

They said their marketing & research dept didn't see any need for these paint schemes.
?
I had planned to buy?4 or 5?and paint them myself for the N&W and a couple RF&P cars but would prefer to buy them RTR from Walthers. If anyone else would like these cars to be made available from them I would suggest you email, call or write and ask that they be made. Perhaps the marketing & research dept would make us happy!

Tom's articles in The Arrow "From the Cab" (forgive me if I got the title wrong) were very, very good reading about his time on the N&W.  He was quite a story teller.  Not sure what you are looking for, but if you pick up older issues of The Arrow, you will see his monthly (?) column.  One that stands out was about running a train from Portsmouth to Columbus and a near accident at a crossing with another railroad.

In the 70s there was a modeler name Tom Dressler who wrote a few articles on N&W projects for MR and RMC.  Have not seen any articles by him in a long time.  Anyone know what happened to him?

Roger,

Do you have a certain contact that you were using? If others are going to contact Walthers
then we should probably coordinate our efforts by talking with the same person.

Thanks,
Brian D.

Harold,
?
I was certain I wasn't alone wanting the PS 10-6 in N&W and the other roads.. I was also surprised when I got a response from a manufacturer. That seems to be very abnormal these days. I find it hard to believe that manufacturers can't find the time to answer an email, letter or phone call from someone wanting their products. It's so easy to communicate these days compared to letter writing and all.
?
I am still waiting for MTH to respond to their website part number problems..
?
I contacted Precision several times about their pending (now cancelled) N&W CF cabin cars. I understand a big part of their cancellation was lack of response from modelers. I find that very hard to believe! I was ready to order several of them but had some questions they wouldn't answer. I think they also gave potential buyers issues with their pay-in-advance system. I just can't buy something of unknown quality from a company sight unseen.
?
Division Point also is another "quiet" company that doesn't try to sell their products by helping answer serious questions.
?
Oh well...................I have more than enough projects anyway!
?

Roger: I have contacted Walthers several times on behalf of the N&WHS regarding these pullman cars. At least you got a reply. The second time I proposed that the N&WHS purchase 600 pullman cars painted and lettered for N&W but got no response.? I have given up on Walthers. Like you I plan to paint three for N&W and will purchase a PRR and a RF&P car. Harold Davenport?

Thanks to Gary Rolih:
Thanks for the info on the Blue Greenville 60' cars and the diagrams of the
N&W passenger cars.  You have been most helpful!
Just to let you know that I had bought all four #'s of the ConCor cars and
sold one recently on Ebay. The car kit went for over $52. Maybe the modeling
committee could contact Exact Rail and have them do the Greenville in the
N&W blue scheme as a built up model (if this is the correct model?). If the
committee doesn't want to, then I could contact them myself. Let me know one
way or the  other.
Thanks Stephen
