I tried this C&O 79000-series conversion a few years ago, but I was kind of sloppy with it and I'm not even sure where the car is right now. In changing the ends, I removed the vertical angles and

Jim, I am not too familar with N&W rolling stock. can you point me to a picture of the prototype on the internet. What time frame do the cars model based on the details and decals. Brian

Apparently these cars had a unique underbody AB brake system setup with all the major components located on one side. Does anyone have a diagram for these cars to confirm this or can someone elaborate
