  3. NKPHTS Announces HO Scale Head and Hind End Special Project

    Heavyweight Baggage Cars

    Baggage CarThe NKP took delivery of 5 Heavyweight baggage cars, numbered 328-332, built by Pullman in December 1929. These five cars were distinctive in that they had 6 ft and 8 ft doors on each side. They were 61'-3" over the end posts and ran on 4-wheel trucks. They performed their assigned duties on various NKP trains from delivery up through the merger. It isn't clear whether any were repainted post-merger.

    NKP Car Co. has produced etched brass cars sides to recreate these kits in HO. The complete kit includes brass car sides, core kit of underframe, roof, ends, trucks w/o wheelsets and various detail parts. The modeler must supply couplers, decals and some additional styrene strip. This limited run kit is available only through the NKPHTS. This complete kit retails for $60 and can be ordered using the order form on the NKPHTS website. The first run sold out within weeks so order soon since limited quantities are available.
