Pennsy Passenger Cars List?

Hey all,

I seem to recall a list of Pennsy passenger cars that were considered proto or foobie. It featured Kato, Atlas, MTL, Centralia, etc..  Did a search here and nothing like that popped. Anyone know or have something like that? TY!

I don't recall PRR specific, but this is a handy site (though dated): https://trainweb.us/fredatsf/

The late Mr. Laboda's N Scale Varnish - Passenger Car User's Guide had several pages devoted to PRR cars.  He didn't list foobies, just correct models, many of which are no longer available (e.g. Shapeways prints, or American Model Builders).    Last update was in 2017 or so, and the Guide is no longer online.   I have a non-functional archive of it.

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

Also check out the section on prototype consists, which has later info than is on the single car section. There are 3 or 4 PRR consists.

URL for the site was http://n-scalevarnish.info/index/varnish/UsersGuide and it's available on the Internet Archive wayback machine.
