Notes:

The Potomac Valley S Gauge Supply Company was a special company set up by the Potomac Valley S Gaugers club, so that they could apply for dealerships. The model is based on a Norfolk Southern prototype. The kit was later offered by Lehigh Valley Models, and is still available via Lehigh Valley Models' successor K & P Brick. The prototype photo shows the structure upon which the kit was based. Dan Vandermause took in January 1974 at the old Norfolk Southern engine facility in Norfolk, VA. The first version of "Norfolk Southern" ran in the state of North Carolina and Virginia and was purchased by the Southern Railway System in January 1974. When the merger of Southern Railway and Norfolk and Western happened, the old "Norfolk Southern" name was resurrected for the new merged railroad.
