THE RETURN OF AN AMERICAN ICON

May 29 – October 3, 2021

The Norfolk & Western Class J 611, a National Historic Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, is known as an engineering powerhouse of steam, technology, and near mechanical perfection.

The N&W Class J 611 is the sole survivor of 14 Class J steam locomotives designed and built by the Norfolk & Western Railway. The locomotive rolled out of Roanoke’s East End Shops in 1950. Its mission was to pull the Powhatan Arrow, a 15-car passenger train, from Norfolk, Virginia, to Cincinnati, Ohio.
Broadway Limited has always been associated with excellence in Pennsy reproductions as well as with superb quality in HO passenger cars. Were pleased to bring these two together with another run of our superb PRR P70 Passenger Cars, but this time in N scale!
Over 1000 P70s were produced between 1907 and 1929 by a host of builders including Altoona. They were in service into the 1960s! These 80 ft all-steel coaches were originally equipped with 88 seats, but in 1926 they were produced with 80 seats standard. The P designation refers to passenger coach. The 70 indicates the overall length of the passenger compartment.

In 1933, the PRR began to include ice-air conditioning in the cars. These air conditioned coaches were reclassified as P70R.

The P70 passenger cars we are offering here are prototypically accurate to be coupled with PRR K4s, PRR T1, EMD E6, E7, E8, Alco PA, Baldwin Passenger Sharknoses. They are truly a Pennsy standard!

 Norfolk & Western 611 is a 4-8-4 "Class J" steam locomotive and perhaps the most advanced such Northern ever built (generally the 4-8-4 design was known as Northerns but the N&W built their own and classed them as Js). The N&W began building its 4-8-4s around the start of World War II in 1941 and would ultimately come to own fourteen such designs, which were built exclusively for passenger service receiving streamlining either when they were first out-shopped or later, after the war. An extremely well-built variant of the 4-8-4 arrangement, the variant was a product of Norfolk & Western's own shop forces in Roanoke, Virginia
