MTL PRR heavyweights arrived - pics!

[bbussey]

Could these parts be used to convert the PRR heavyweights into ice bunker A/C?

Yes.  But they were designed for the Lima P70 model, so they have to be modified to fit the MTL cars.

Dave:

Before you give up on the MTL 10-1-2 PRR runner pack - note that the three names (Lake Maitland, Lake Merritt, and Lake Stearns) for those are all correct for the 10-1-2 and also had mechanical air conditioning (not ice activated with the large ice bunkers).  The PRR had 30 of these cars many of which seemed to be used in Florida trains in the 1950s.  Train 141 carried eight 10-1-2s to cities in Florida, New Orleans, Mobile and Charlotte.  They may not have shown up in large numbers alsong the Juniata however.

I can't know for sure of course, but I think it's just fine.  The warning that Chrome gives is a bit excessive, but PDF files can, in some cases, be used to gain access to your computer.  I think if you have your adobe reader updated, then you're covered.

In this case it's really nothing more than if you trust the site, then trust the file.
