Intermountain PRR P85 coaches - tooling corrected?

All this Pennsy talk on the forum got me wondering ... When these first came out the windows were wrong.

Anyone know if Intermountain/Centralia ever got around to fixing the tooling?

I could use one for use on certain N&W trains connecting to Chicago ...

I had one with no interior and it had the misaligned windows. I'm not sure but I'm guessing when CCC made the ones with full interiors (and lights, I think) they got the windows right. Stay away from the blank interior ones, tho.
I believe they upgraded the trucks on the second version, too.

What's an Intermountain P85 coach?  You mean the Centralia Car Shops cars?   ;)

I'm not aware of the P85 ever getting the retooled treatment that the sleepers and later releases did (full car tooling, detailed roofs, interiors, MTL trucks, lighting), so no the window misalignment has never been fixed.

Did anyone bother to ask Intermountain and/or Centralia?

On this one, I'd go with what was said above.

Never argue with idiots; they'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Above what?  THat's like the "No Smoking Beyond This Point" signs.  Point in space? Point in time"  Point as in idea?  And if they mean point in space, perhaps they ought to put an actual point on the sign, or else geometrically-speaking the author should say "No Smoking Beyond This Plane"
