Check Out The Details And See It In Action:The HO Norfolk & Western Passenger Set
June 22, 2011 - M.T.H.'s HO Norfolk & Western passenger cars will be arriving at local M.T.H. Authorized Retailers in early July. Check out the car's details in the photos below or click on the video icon in the website news story to see them in action behind the M.T.H. Norfolk & Western J Class steam engine. “Fine New Feathers for the NEW Powhatan Arrow" proclaimed a 1949 brochure for the N&W's premier passenger train, newly re-equipped with luxurious cars from Pullman-Standard. An all-coach daytime streamliner connecting tidewater Virginia to the Midwest, the Arrow covered the 676 miles between Norfolk and Cincinnati in under 16 hours behind the road's magnificent Class J steamers. The M.T.H. 5-car set accurately models the train's regular consist of compartment (divided) coach, crew coach, regular coach, diner, and tavern-lounge-observation. Separately offered add-on cars enable you to put on additional equipment when traffic warrants it, just as the prototype did. Each car features full car interior detail mounted atop what may be the smoothest rolling trucks you’ll find on an HO passenger car. Our working end-of-car diaphragms are flexible enough for 22” radius curve operation. Flicker-free overhead interior lighting complements the interior detail and the lighted marker lights and drumhead on the observation car ensure that this train is one you won’t soon forget.
