– NW “Claytor Repaint HC-71†1986+ brings the mid-1980s into focus for early NS Corporation-era modelers. These car numbers are chosen from the pool of NW’s HC-71 1986 Roanoke Shops repaints in the then-current “Claytor†freight car lettering scheme. Gone is the large block-style NW and replacing it is a bold, condensed NORFOLK AND WESTERN across the car side. This is a very important scheme for NW/NS modelers, as it is often overlooked in model offerings. The models wear a slightly lighter gray for the Claytor scheme. Each Tangent car number is carefully matched to prototype photos and features accurate CAPY, COTS, truck class and end data for these 1973/1974 Roanoke-built cars. Yes, every car is different. All of the car numbers feature a smooth-style replacement roof hatch and Keystone Portloc outlet gates. Those Roanoke details are all there, from the huck bolts on the side posts to the distinctive square-style routing card placard above the left bolster. We have even applied Stucki HS-7 snubbers on the 100-Ton trucks, based on individual car numbers – SKUs -02 through -04 have the Stucki snubbers while SKUs -01, -05 through -12 do not. The accurate100-Ton Barber S-2 Roller Bearing Trucks feature rotating Timken caps and 36†all-metal wheels. We are proud to offer these NW Claytor repaints in 12 road numbers. What a hot scheme!
