Last December I embarked on a project to start making models of a few passenger cars of the Norfolk Southern Office Car Special (OCS) to go with my F units for this executive train. The most detailed of these cars is my model of NS #26, the New York. This coach was built by Budd in 1947. Prior to its ownership by NS, it served as Conrail #27 as a part of its regular OCS train. The New York serves mainly on Operation Lifesaver and Steam Special trains. See the photos below for photos of how I completed this project. -Charlie Photo credit to Lance Myers of Altoona Works. http://www.altoonaworks.info/ Their website has plenty of information and photos regarding all projects of the Juniata Shops and its predecessors. Here is a photo of the prototype New York on a Steam Special in Altoona. I tried to mirror the prototype as closely as possible.
