A little while back, P&WV #830/N&W #500830 sold on OMR. This was the caboose in Cadiz, OH owned by Cravat Coal. Does anyone have any info on where it’s going? Just curious.

I haven't had any luck finding the trail of #830. But I did find out that two other P&WV cabooses of this series survive: #829 at Boones Mill VA, and #837 in Duluth GA/SERRM (The former is in the process of being restored to original). https://www.train-museum.org/locomotive ... se-500837/

PMC - thanks for the info. I got the location wrong for the 830. That was the one originally by donated by the P&WV to the Ruritan Club in Evington, VA. 828 is the one on the Cravat Coal property and I’m 99% sure it’s still there.

As for the 829, the last I knew it was at a private school in Rocky Mount,VA. Glad it’s still around.

An interesting note about this series of cars, they were kits built by Bethlehem Steel and delivered to the P&WV Rook shops were they were assembled. It goes to show that freight car kits were also available in 1:1 scale.

This may be a bit OT, but Bodley Carriage Works sent several hundred 30" gauge sugar cane car kits to Westfield Sugar Estate in Napoleonville, Louisiana just before the end of the 19th century. Many industrial railroads were supplied this way, saving the industries on both per unit cost, and shipping costs.

Mexico received two modern 36" gauge 2-8-0s as kits from ALCO, and in the 80s NdeM assembled many standard gauge diesels from kits supplied by GE. This practice was common, and most likely still continues somewhere in the world.
