Man O'War Pike-Size Passenger Train

Hello everyone! Been working on a model of the Central of Georgia’s Man O’War consist circa 1950’s for almost ten years now. Had a stroke back in 2007 so I had to put some things on the back burner until I could hold a paintbrush again. This is a perfect pike-sized passenger train folks! An E7 with all Budd consist; combine baggage-coach, two 54 seat coaches and a tavern-lounge observation. Any Central of Georgia modelers out there? Looking for any photos, technical data, or blue-prints about the train. Anything would be appreciated.

Need answers to the following questions:

  • Placement of the AM radio roof antenna on the tavern-lounge #692. How far from the vestibule is the first post and what interval to space the remaining six, seven post total, on the roof?

  • What color were the window blinds/drapes?

Gidday, this is just to bump you back up to page one, but I presume you’d have contacted these folk…

Thank for the bump! Al and I are old friends.

John,

Can’t remember exactly where or when, but IIRC one of the mags had an article in recent years that included something about the MoW. It may have been one of the MR “pike-sized passenger trains” articles, but may have been something else. Might be worth a search through the magazine index located elsewhere here on the MR site if you haven’t tried that yet.

I think Passenger Train Journal had an article about the Nancy Hanks and “Little Nancy” 2 or 3 years ago that included a couple pics of the Man O’War.

Cool! Thanks for the lead. Will check it out. John
