I am interested in the Norfolk Southern executive fleet of passenger cars. I have purchased the Delaware, but can not find any others except the safety award car the Virginia that Bachmann made just for NS. I am an NS engineer and would like to purchase the fleet. Will there be any production of these cars, or at least the Virginia to the public?
Dear HD,
These cars are produced at the request of the railroad for the railroad. Only they know what the future may hold.
Have fun!

Here's one that is on e-bay.

The other option is to do what NS did, 'kit bash' and paint existing models into the NS Executive cars. NS did a lot of reworking and repainting to get those cars into their existing condition.

Len is correct, here is a link that another modeler had done and gives step by step instructions on how he did it.
