Something new in PRR head end equipment

Just learned that GHQ is working on a PRR R50b and maybe out in a couple months.  I could sure use a few of these.

Those lasted into the PC era, didn't they?

Did someone already do these?

I may be thinking of the brass one NJI put out ages ago?

I was hoping I could get Dick Billings to put together a 60' NYC Baggage. I really like his kits. The wrinkles in their steel sides are just waay cool!

I just picked up some of WoT 70' Baggage in the NYC. They are well done too! (sans the wrinkles)

but I digress......

I don't have any photos in front of me, but there were still some R50b's around in PC times. But very few. Non were repainted that I know of exept for MoW.

Thanks, I'm doing early PC, so having multi-colored consists is a plus. Budget will probably allow only one, anyway.

These did not last in PC.  Only a few left by 1967.

Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

GHQ has been working on them for a while.  Glad to hear they may be released in the near future.

My favorite looking express reefer.  To be realistic you got to heavy weather them since they rarely got a washing.

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