Kevin, I don't believe CGW owned the vars you are referring to. They
were leased from North American and they carried NAHX reporting marks.
Not sure how many but I never saw one higher than 90409 or lower than
90401. I haven't seen any of these cars in some time but I did see a
couple after they were repainted in std. gray with the same numbers.
Don't know origin of shpt but they came to Gang Mills from the east,
then returned in that direction when empty. I have seen these cars in
the CGW siding at the Erwin plant but if any went to the main plant they
would have been out of sight from public property.They were ACF 2 bay
cars. They cam e up the old LV from the Allentown area on ALCG when that
trainwas running.. I think it was Model Power that produced an HOcar but
the paint and lettering were way off. I made two of them for my layout
using Hearld King decals. I followed the paint mix HK gave but I thot
the green was a little too dark.but acceptable. I used the Ramax cars
which was the only 2 bay ACF available back then. Hope this helps you.
Harry
