I cannot give you numbers, but, YES, many of those cars existed at the time of the merger. And many of them were later lettered for L&N with the yellow stripe remaining. And L&N retained NC&StL's slogan "The Dixie Line", not just on the boxcars, but on a lot of freight cars. - Earl Henry In a message dated 8/18/2011 9:33:57 P.M.

At Bill ( Milestone) Winans suggestion, went to the website, and it is a good looking car. My question is, and maybe Earl Henry know the answer is. Since the NC&StL was taken over by the L&N in 1957, would any of these car still have remained painted in the same NC&StL scheme at that time?

Finally an NC&StL R-T-R freight car available in S. KUDOS to someone, and my assumption is that it is Dave Blum and Greg Klein. Just when I was getting serious about thinning my collection. Now I have to do some thinning to make room for these cars. Bill Winans, thanks for guiding me to the website, which I had totally forgotten about. Must be a "senior" thing. Steve Johnson is a friend here in Nashville. Steve is the author of Vol. 1 and 2 for Morning Sun Books titled "L&N:Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment". He recently included a "ps" in an email to me that he was involved as a consultant on an "S" model and this must be the project he was referring to. He would be the perfect guy. Early in 2010 Steve helped me and Bob McCarthy by providing photographs of these yellow striped boxcars that resulted in The Supply Car, LLC offering decals for these cars. I ordered 4 sets and have only completed one. Now I can simply purchase the cars ready-to-roll. Over and over I have heard guys say that the NC&StL yellow striped boxcars would be a great seller in the South. Now we will find out. This convention car can be of help in promoting the existence of the Chattanooga Convention to guys in the South who don't know anything about the NASG. I am excited. - Earl Henry, Nashville, TN [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
