I really want that Dupont car I posted.  I'm going to sacrifice $21.55 and make the PRR cars a little more collectible and see what can be done.

I don't have anything on the 3600s... but I believe you can just redo the ends on the 3500 by adding the extended slope sheet and lowering the end braces

The kitbash you did though is still a most awesome start for a 3660... and you can utilize more of the 2600s you salvaged (I'm just guessing that you used 2600s though)

Given the built/servicing dates and especially the extra markings (U1 and COTS) on the UP version, the only viable paint schemes for pre-1970 in this release are Shell Plastics, Diamond Sugar, and... drum roll, please, PRR. It disappoints me greatly that I have to give in to the SPF crowd just to have era-plausible P&L for a prototype built in the early '60s.

I'm guessing from the post time that Craig just didn't bother to go to bed before he posted the announcement.  Looking for a USI version for my layout!

Hmm, Wabash had these?  8)

Apparently these were class HC58 when N&W inherited them in 1964 ...

Wab 31500-31519 to N&W 331500-331519

Built 1962 by ... (drum roll) ... GATC

Plain bearings ... (odd in '62)

Can't find any pics online as yet ...  :(
