This model was built using high-detail plans and photos from various parts of the 1922 Carbuilder's Cyclopedia from Rail Driver, supplied by Chuck Zeiler, with many thanks. The same plans were used as the backdrop for the main body textures. This made for high-detailed textures, very laborious, but a perfect distraction for those long winter evenings!

These cars were built in NP's South Tacoma, Washington, shops during the 19-teens. They went through "modernization" in the 1950's, recieving AB brakes, replacing the original K-type. They also were renumbered to the 21000 series from their original 17000-series. I remember seeing some in Portland, Oregon, in the early 1970's (showing their longevity), and always wanted a model of the venerable old cars, so here it is. I built it with the future "Moclips Branch" route, being built by Steve Thompson, in mind.

Original File Name = NP_XM_21579.zip
