NEW YORK CENTRAL PASSENGER CAR ROSTER
This is a combination New York Central passenger car roster summary and list of available HO scale models that are reasonably close to New York Central passenger car prototypes. Please note that I have not tried to detail all possible rebuildings or renumberings as they can sometimes get very complicated and would require an extensive amount of time to detail ( and would make this page too big for most people to handle). Many heavyweight cars ended up in MofW service. I do not have a large amount of information of the early steel underframe cars, so most of the roster details the modern all steel cars and many of the steel underframe cars are not listed at all.
A large number of the cars listed have been offered in brass at one time or another by Soho, Great Brass Fleet or Shoreham ( Railway Classics), so I have not listed the brass models. "STAND-IN" basically means the car 'could' be used to model a particular series, but there are significant body detail differences that make it a poor choice, but of course this is up to the individual. Nearly all of the available plastic models have some minor detail differences between the model and prototype. Models listed WITHOUT notes should be considered CLOSE to NYC prototype, however, one particular area that may not match is the underbody details. Many of the new Walthers passenger cars have bodies that match the NYC, but have different underbody/air conditioning details. For most people, this is not an issue so long as the body is reasonably correct. For others, it may not be acceptable. Since these details can vary from car to car after delivery and years in service and modifications, I have not tried to detail these differences.
NOTE: IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING SPECIFIC - DUE TO THE SIZE OF THIS PAGE - IT IS SUGGESTED THAT YOU DO A SEARCH USING THE "CTRL F" COMMAND - NOT VIA THE SEARCH BUTTON.
Click on the lot number for diagram of cars. Click on car number/name for a picture of a car that that group.
Note: A ' ~ ' between car numbers means that the series may contain some blanks, or in case of a renumbering, may not have been renumbered in sequence or some cars had been retired by the time of the renumbering and therefore the renumbered series may contain fewer cars.
This is a work in progress and as new information comes to light, this page is subject to changes, corrections and additions as I have time to do so. Note: I would like to believe the information contained here is 100% correct, but this is simply impossible. Unfortunately, there have been errors found in the original documents used, as well as transposition and typographical errors in the processing of some documents. NYC and Pullman documents have been used to compile this listing, but these do contain errors themselves. Also, I have not made any attempt to locate NYC cars that still exist - either in some form of Railroad service, privately owned or located in Museums. Some cars marked retired or scrapped may still exist as railroad documents do not usually show what happens after the car has been removed from the Railroad property. Cars may be sold to an equipment dealer and then resold at a later time, but these do not show up in Company records.
If you have any questions, corrections or comments, please send them to: nyc @ canadasouthern.com
I also have a freight car summary roster:
