– Norfolk and Western NW “Original Blue 4-1969” replicates a critical delivery paint scheme for this Thrall 5880 box car system. The NW’s huge order for 269 cars was painted in a beautiful dark blue with white graphics. These cars are truly distinctive, with their large left-side “hamburger” logo and “Norfolk and Western” roadname centered vertically on the right side of the car. The models are equipped with Freightmaster End-Of-Car Cushioning, a Stanray coupler centering device (see those handles flanking the draft gear!) and NW’s signature Equipco 3750 handbrake. Underneath, you can spot those gorgeous Tangent 100-Ton Barber S-2 trucks with rotating Timken caps. Assigned to Melvindale, Michigan (i.e. Detroit), these B-120 Class cars were hauling auto parts across Ford’s pool routes. From New York to California, and even into Canada, these N&W cars were everywhere. Stunning, sharp and accurate.
