Doin' some research I'm coming up that these roofs were still exceptionally rare during the steam era... Can other SPFs confirm? They'd be very unlikely to be paired with a coach that didn't have the three stripes...

One of my books shows that ~140+ class P70fR were built in mid 1930’s: the one pictured in that timeframe has an arch roof. So even if 30% of the class had arch roofs, they would be very likely be running behind steam, IMHO.

Guessing that's the Liljestrand & Sweetland book on PRR coaches. Just checked mine and yep, you're right. So I can do this conversion and be correct to era!

Too many new drops on the file to mention here.  Lots of Hi Medium and Low bolster trucks and design specific PRR 2D-P5 passenger tucks for the Bachmann and MT coaches, and the Hellgate B60, static dwarf and tombstone signals, B70 doors for the MT baggage car, Snap-in Arch roofs for the MT coach and Bachmann Coach.

All are live on the excel file now.

Here's an Atlas Master PS-1 with ACF 50T roller bearing trucks from @Lemosteam.



The trucks are unpainted, installed just as they came from John.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
