Norfolk & Western (NW) “Delivery 1978” replicates another major player in the world of Greenville 86’ Boxcars.  The NW rostered several Greenville series, but the 1978 order was the biggest.  In fact, this 1978 B-138 class of 317 cars was the biggest Greenville order of any railroad.  The bold NW graphics are almost understated on a boxcar of this size, but this paint scheme is one example that literally defines modern auto parts trains.  The NW cars feature the correct late-Greenville body with 5 grab irons on each side along with body mounted brake gear.  Those gorgeous 100-Ton “Low Profile” Barber S-2-C trucks show off the accurate rotating Timken bearing caps.  SKUs -01 through -06 have January 1978 data and SLUs -07 through -12 have February 1978 data.
