HO 86ft Greenville High Cube Double Plug Door Boxcar: Norfolk Southern (NW, B20 Repaint 1989+) #868197

(Different road number shown)
From Tangent Scale Models:
Norfolk Southern (NW) B20 Repaint 1989+ offers one of our most requested schemes for this boxcar, a Norfolk Southern option. These cars were painted in NS brown paint in 1989 complete with the NS logo stenciling in white. This 1965-built Greenville group features accurate Center-of-Car Cushioning details, a Hydra-Cushion cylinder and truck mounted brake hardware. The B20 class rides on 70-Ton Barber S-2A Roller Bearing Trucks, with 33” wheels and accurate rotating “Timken” roller bearing caps. As a reminder, N&W was the largest original purchaser of Greenville 86’ auto parts boxcars from multiple eras, and these cars literally went everywhere.
