– Norfolk & Western (N&W) “Delivery 12-1969 Blue” offers another big paint scheme for our customers.  We see you, patient N&W fans.  The N&W ordered 21 cars and these were among the first Greenville 86’ Quad Door box cars built.  The Pevler blue paint and hamburger logo look great on this big car.  The “NORFOLK & WESTERN” graphics are distinctive and accurate for this order of Greenville cars.  (Compare the lettering style to Tangent’s recent N&W Blue Thrall 60’ boxcars!)  Greenville just had their own style and way of doing things!  This 1969-built Greenville group features accurate End-of-Car Cushioning details, Gypsum crossover platforms and truck mounted brake hardware.  This N&W B-123 class rides on 100-Ton Barber Low Profile S-2-C Trucks, with 36” wheels and accurate rotating “Timken” roller bearing caps.  These cars were part of the GM Indianapolis, Indiana Stamping Plant pool, with a return-when-empty stencil the Indianapolis Union Railway!  These beauties are ready to haul auto parts!
