color:#1F497D'>Right on, Harold! The MTH cars look very good, and considering
the detail, the price is not bad. On the web site, they seem to be confused
between pictures of the P1 and numbers for the P3. Fortunately, the models are
all correct. Was aware of the roof line problem on the Roanoke Rails S1’s, but
putting the paint part line and the gold stripe in the proper location helps a
lot. The NKP car sides were done several years ago at my suggestion, and may
not be still available. They also had a core kit with Budd roof to fit the
sides, but I don’t know if they also made the scale fault as I have not
examined an actual kit. The Walthers 10 and 6 also makes the same mistake. On
my kitbash, I correct this with paint. People don’t seem to understand that
Budd’s postwar production dropped the transition from roof to letterboard, so
that it was a little lower than on PS and ACF cars. Jim Nichols<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Jim: You are correct. I have a bad habit of getting the
two sleeper classes confused. I believe that it comes from the fact that the
S2 sleepers were delivered before the S1 sleepers. I also agree with
you that there are laser kits for the PMs and brass sides for the
S2 sleepers. I was not aware of brass sides for the S1's. I have two of
the S1 brass cars imported by Sam Putney. These cars have a scale
fault with the roof line not coming down far enough on the side which yields
a letter-board much wider than it should be. Key imported some, what I
call shell cars, PM coaches that were labeled Powhatan Arrow lounge cars.
These shells make a great place to start building a good model of a PM but
very few were available. SOHO also imported some PMs and P3s as
converted to commuter service. The sides of these cars are under scale and
the car thus sits too low. To make a good model you also have to reconstruct
the vestibule. While brass imports are now very detailed they are also very
expensive and of limited availability. The plastic model market has now
caught up to brass in detail and scale fidelity. Price has also increased but
not on the same magnitude of brass. Our plan has been to push
models that are widely available and at reasonable prices. Whether they are
kits or RTR has not been a stumbling point. Nor has been offering the cars
through the Society or just on general market. We want to see good
N&W models available to our N&W modelers via whatever route
possible. Harold<o:p></o:p></p>

</span>Didn’t you mean “a builder, or importer, for the Pm’s and S1’s”
? Actually, the S1’s and brass sides for the S1’s have been available
in the past. (the sides were from NKP Car) And AMB Laser Kits did sides
for the PM. I realize these last two were not finished RTR cars, but they
were kits of N&W prototypes. Jim Nichols<o:p></o:p></p>
