All of the waycars in the post 1920's, had steel underframes. They either were 
built with them or they were applied later.The only way to tell the classes 
apart is to have a number roster. Some NE-1's had three windows but not nearly 
all. So make them whatever class you want by using the right numbers. Go to the 
BRHS website for a roster. BTW, all of the wood waycars had Sharon couplers and 
these were a weak link. It was easy to pull a Sharon coupler.

I have three Walthers 932-7560 four window wood cabooses that resemble the
photos I've seen of NE-1, NE-2, NE-4, NE-7, NE-8 and NE-9 way cars. Are
there any external spotting features to differentiate these five classes?
They all look pretty much the same to me. I have the number series for each
class, and I can't decide which series to use for a 1949-1953 vintage
layout. I don't have build dates or retirement dates for each class.

I know that some of the four window 30 ft. NE-1 way cars were rebuilt with
steel frames, and these cars lasted into the late 1960s. Color photos of
NE-2, NE-4, NE-7, NE-8 and NE-9 way cars taken in the 1960 up to 1970 appear
in Spoor's CB&Q Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment, so some cars
of each class survived past the steam era.

I'd appreciate any information that would guide me into detailing, painting,
and decaling these models.

Nelson
