Three ex L&NE cars acquired by CNJ do not appear to have made it to Conrail. 580(CNJ 91552) now at Steamtown in Scranton, PA, 581(CNJ 91551) and 584(would have been CNJ 91550?). |

| HO Eastern Car Works or Life-Like Proto 2000 Northeastern. The LifeLike car has the correct windowless ends, use the same parts from the Eastern Car Works kit. These cars require blanking of stove window and addition of awings on cupola. The awnings can be fabricated easily from strip styrene, see drawing. Other scales? |
