Hey Guys
The Norfork and Western ,B&O, and Canadian Pacific all had some silver streamline passenger cars with fluted sides and one colored stripe along the top roof line . Does anybody have some pictures of these particular prototypes or can give a reference or source to find them ? It sure would be helpful for the special project we are trying to develop . Thanks

There is a site called Streamliner Memories, which has some photos, like this of the Capitol Limited.
Hope this is a help!
Here is a link to the N&W archives passenger cars. For the N&W, the silver streamlined cars would likely come from the roads the N&W absorbed, including ex-NKP 104-109 which were renumbered to 1700 series N&W numbers and included the red stripe.
I will assume you are looking for scale length cars. if so, Haynes MacDaniel (Mac Shops) in Florida has or had extrusions for the Baltimore and Ohio's dome sleeper and 16 and 4 sleepers, both of which were fluted Budd cars with a blue stripe at the top of a corrugated body.
Golden Gate Depot made accurate full length models of the Canadian Pacific's Budd cars that fit your description.
Check-out the railroad historical societies; they may have exactly what you are looking for.
I'm working on a Great Northern Empire Builder project and struck gold at GNRHS with info and photos; modeling info; etc.
