Looking For

[Bob Bufkin]

I need 2 Model Power or Lima PRR P70 coaches.  Model Power tell me they are out and don't know when they will be available.  Checked the various internet sales sites and nothing.  Anybody got any ideas?

you got a picture?

I've got a couple, including body mounts and GMM vestibule steps.  Pullman green, black tops and no lettering.  I've been running them in lieu of more proto 75' coaches with single windows such as the WM used...

Would prefer PRR paint.  Hate stripping and applying those damn stripes.  Got new arch roofs and underbody parts just need the cars.

John, Model Poweer site had photos of these cars/

I have two but not in PRR

The PRR ones pop up on Ebay fairly regularly ...

The Lima car is the original model and has better tooling. 

The Model Power model is a copy of the Lima model and is not tooled as well, as the relief is soft in a number of areas.  It probably was reverse-engineered from the Lima model.  The company was known to do that with a number of its models during that time period.

The Lima cars do pop up on eBay on a fairly regular basis.

Boy, I see these things all the time at train shows, flea markets, garage sales, etc.  Mixed in will be some Atlas cars as well.  At train shows they are asking $10.00 each but at the flea markets and garage sales the going rate seems to be $2.00.
