Looks like the 1940s (up to 1952) lettering on the N&W version. 1948 repaint? Wouldn't that be the same as the "as built"?

220601 - N&W G3 as-built
220602 - N&W G3 repaint with different sized herald
220603 - N&W G3a (I believe as-built)

I will correct the date for the G3 repaint to 1952 tonight.

But wait, it's going to be worse than that.  For the first time ever on this planet, or any other, you have the opportunity to interchange with the Laurel Valley, thanks to our good friends at ESM...



Same bat cost, same bat deadline.  I'm working out the ordering details now.  Stand by for news!

Really Lee?  That's very cool - I'll bend my era rules for one of those.  These are nice cars.

Bryan,

So N&W 70508 will be coming with the 24" "N&W" and the other two numbers will be in the 1940s 17" "N&W" eh?

Sounds good! 8)

Were these the basis for the "Panelized Turnout Carriers"?

Some of those have been photographed still on NS - not sure about CSX.
