Cover Photo on Walthers 2010 N&Z Catalog

   I got to looking again at the Cover Photo of the C&O Passenger Train on the latest Walthers N&Z catalog. I had noticed before the smoothside coach ,C&O lightweight coaches had fluted sides,later some were rebuilt to stop rusting problems. Walthers Pre Order shows their C&O cars will be fluted sides,unlike the baggage car available in both styles. Look closely however at the coach in the photo, it has to be hand made (maybe plastic sides?) on the 10-6 sleeper roof & ends. Look how crudely the windows have been cut (punched out) no attempt to smooth out the openings. Photo shopping would have made this look better.Then there appears to be an interrior and a white interrior piece to prevent looking all the way through,or is the interrior photo shopped in? The usually nice work that Walthers has done on these covers in recoent years has slipped a notch or two. Nate Goodman (Nato). Salt Lake, Utah.
