Exclusive first look at MTL Observation Car

Hi Guys,

Just got all the parts on my bench and started painting a few for my fleet  ;D  Just though I would share some shots fresh from production.  I don't have a release date to post yet, but they will be here soon.

Joe,

At first I thought the model has ice-cooled air conditioning, but now I'm not sure after looking again at the unit under the floor on the left side.  Would you post pics of the other side as well?  Thanks.

Cool Joe.  Of course, there is one problem---where as I bought serveral of each of your other passenger cars, I will only need one of these for the back of the train. ;D

Very nice. Is there an AC duct on the other side of the roof? Let's see the opposite side.

Looks nice, but it appears that the coupler (at least at the open platform end) really sticks out.

These are very nice Joe. I'm awfully tempted to foob one up as the early CR executive car. You're not planning on doing that with them anytime soon, are you? I mean, it'd be a nifty eye-catching scheme like I know your peeps are into.

It needs Tuscan paint ASAP!  ;D

Not sure if you saw this, Joe, but it's a video of my other MTL Pennsy cars.

Wonder what your next car will be.  A coach (many choices) or perhaps a diner alswo many).  Inquiring minds want to know but I know your keeping it under you hat.
