PRR and UP single window coach

[Maletrain]

I expect that you have already looked here: http://prr.railfan.net/diagrams/PRRdiagrams.html?sel=coa&sz=sm&fr= and found that the 62' 4-3/4" PK coaches were the latest with single windows, and those had truss rods.

So, why the expectation that somewhere there is a single window Pennsylvania heavyweight coach, unless it is from this photo: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d9/Pennsylvania_Railroad_Passenger_Car.JPG , which I think you said is an excursion line repaint?  But, hey, if they can do that foobie in 1:1 ...

And, now that we have all looked for Pennsy coaches, we learned that there are three-grouped-window Pennsy coaches to be modeled, too.  When is MTL gonna do those ?

[brokemoto]

They were 78' and change which is comparable to the paired windowed coach and soon (hopefully) to be released single-windowed coach.

Too bad that there are no decals in N scale with the correct font for WM passenger.

The RPO/baggage looks close enough to some that WM had.  You can get the RPO decals from a sheet for a different road that had a similar passenger font, but the road name, you can not get.

[brokemoto]

I just hope they continue to bring out new car bodies and keep offering existing and new roadnames.

Baggage/passenger combine.....................

I can get MTL a drawing for a C&O prototype.

Judging by the way beyond sarcasm responses to Joe, I'm sure there are legless cats and earless dogs in your neighbourhoods.
Constructive criticism is one thing... as they say.
All I can say is I hope Joe's dermis is stronger than most____ ;
otherwise I'd say He's owed an apology, and no further comment from me.

And I can get you a tooling quote to have your very own!  LOL 

Yep, a combine is another one we need to do..

Given the picture of that singe-window (C&O prototype) combine supplied by wcfn100, I think you are going to be badgered for not one, but two baggage-coach combines.  We paired-window (B&O prototype) folks don't want to get left-out.

I once approached a manufacturer about doing a limited edition, and he said- "the first one is somewhere between a new car and a new house, each additional  one you order is 25 bucks".

I remember reading you can have any car you want for around $30,000 $.

I can make you some wicked good terms on that.  LOL

Joe wouldn't be here unless he knew exactly what TRW is like. As for "legless cars and earless dogs" that's a colloquialism I'm not familiar with. A Southern term?

But Joe doesn't have to be on here. We should be thankful that he, Paul, and Jason want to ask us needs/wants, and sometimes help for drawings, paint chips, whatever.
 Anyone from Bmann chime in here, no. As the Stones said, "You can't always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need. Boo-hoo if a car isn't EXACTLY for you, just deal with it. Life's too short for stupid nitpicking. Just run trains, have fun, and be thankful for what is available. N has come along way.

Let's compile a list of all the model railroad companies that actually do make every one of their customers happy with every single one of their prototype choices, their rendering, painting, and delivery schedules.  I'll start.



















Done.
