Thanks to the comments here on their accuracy I pre-ordered two Southerns and they arrived today. They look nice! Will look out for an NS one.
Best,
Joshua

While they may be accurate, I don't think /southern owned any Trinity 4750's, they should all be Pullman Standard.
NS does own Trinity 4750s.

They didn't, but all you have to do to turn them from a Trinity to a late PS car is remove the extension on the bottom of the jacking pad and (possibly) the roofwalk end supports |

Walthers continues to botch the NS logo, but I may grab a few if the rest of the lettering looks ok as well as some SOU cars to modify.

By coincidence another round of the Atlas Trainman Thrall 4750 dropped on Friday. BN/BNSF, CATX, DJJX, Midwest Railcar patched ex-RI, MN&S, EAFX, Transportation Corp of America, CN/IC and Peavey. I had preordered a handful of them. Just $33.95 list.

Those atlas EX-RI patch outs are neat, i saw an entire cut of those and ex-CNW 4750s in fertilizer service in mason city, IA a couple years back. It was 101 degrees and the bees were out...

Some of those cars have been patched two or three times on the original paint at this point.
