    The N&WHS commissioned Bowser to produce two six packs of it's GLa decorated for VGN H3 class twin hoppers.

    Models at The N&WHS Commissary (see about midway down)

    N&WHS blurb:
    The VGN H3 hoppers served from 1910 until 1953 when the last H3 was retired. The six-car pack of VGN H3s offered by the N&WHS has been exclusively lettered for the society by Bowser. The lettering style is taken from the official Virginian lettering diagram dated January 1923 and represents the lettering on most H3s from 1916 through World War II.

    The VGN Class H3 was based on the PRR Gla so this is a pretty good match body style wise.

    Like N&W coal, these cars could be seen on many roads.

    The price is nice too.:)
