I'm in the process of applying C&NW paint/decals to some Athearn Overland passenger cars, and while I was googling around looking for car numbers I discovered that Athearn actually released these in C&NW paint back in 2007 Anyway, at this point I suppose they're super hard to find so I may as well just press on with my project. But if anyone has a set, can you tell me what numbers Athearn used on them? I'm finding very little prototype information on C&NW wood / open-platform cars and I haven't been able to track down any pictures of the models where the numbers are readable. Thanks! -Mark
You mean like this? http://www.midcontinent.org/collectn/woodpas/mlsw63e.jpg Or this? http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nTdgOhW_EgE/Th-tbCrb8iI/AAAAAAABn9s/bPLIft2V7mg/s1600/2321.jpg All in how you query the internet. In my case simply CNW wood passenger cars. That gets you this site. http://passcarphotos.info/Indices/CNW.htm and then let your mouse do the walking down the page.
Yes, I know how to use the internet. And yes, I have seen those pictures. That's one number for a car I do have (coach) and one number for a car I don't have (RPO). I need numbers for two coaches, a combine and a business car. -Mark
Apparently these are the numbers Athearn used - Baggage/Combine - 826 Coach - 3125 Coach - 3238 Business Car - 2937 I'm hoping they did their research. But in any case, that's what I'm going to use Cheers, -Mark
