mofw Mainenance of Way...
Here are my models of maintenance of way equipment.  The information I have on these types of cars is very limited.  As I get more info, I will build more cars of this type.  Virtually all Chessie MofW equipment was in the 9XXXXX series.

Below is the Walthers Scale Test Car X4914:  This little car is a unique piece of Maintenance of Way equipment.  Used to test the scales for accuracy, this car was usually restricted to riding just in front of the caboose on a train.  The kit comes all black.  I painted the grab irons, brake wheel stand and squares yellow.  I added Kaydee couplers, rusted up the wheels and whallah, you're done.

Below is my Jordan Spreader.  There is a whole page on how to make this car on the modeling tips page.  It is quite involved, but is a real conversation piece on any layout.  Use the link here to see that page.

Below is a WM MofW wheel car.  Although all MofW equipment on a B&O line would have B&O reporting marks, the WM did give alot of their equipment to the B&O in 1975 when the parts of the WM were abandoned.  I model this as one such car.  Use this link to see how I made this car.

Below is a maintenance of way hopper.  Notice the unique dumping hatches on the bottom.  This allows for easy dumping of ballast or fill on either side of the car.  This class started in company service, but quickly joined the MofW force.  It is seen here wearing a MofW road #.  See how I made this car through this link.
