Hi all,
HO scale, smoothside
Does anyone know if the IHC Norfolk & Western Baggage car has Powhatan Arrow on it?
I know the dome car does not because it did not run them.
The one I want is from AHM and it only has Norfolk & Western, not the Powhatan Arrow.
IHC’s website has a small picture but comes up “broken picture” when you try yo maximize it.
Can you help?
The Powhatan Arrow was initiated in 1946, with NO baggage cars. Coaches, diner, & observation car - all pulled by a Class J 4-8-4. Sometime in 1956, the Powhatan Arrow got baggage cars as other trains were discontinued and the Powhatan Arrow picked up their work. So, I doubt if the baggage cars every got the Powhatan Arrow lettering like the original cars, and most of the baggage cars were older HW cars.

No Baggage until much later/
The picture below is typical for the two named trains until service was down graded. I have some pictures of six coaches, but it was normally small.
