Hello Group, My plans are to back date a BCW M70b into a clerestory roofed M70/M70a. I have a couple of drawings from Model Railroader and have the Keystone issue #26 on RPO's coming. I have a 70'

Claus, When did Model Power make this MBM70? Or any full length passenger cars? Andy Miller

I hadn’t planned to participate, given that I already have no fewer than four unfinished PRR Pro projects. However, in taking a second look, it may give me a chance to actually complete a project

Hi List Members, I'm looking at doing a PRR class MBM62 baggage-RPO car for this project. An example of such a car, PRR 5403 can be seen at the link below.

Folks, Happy New Year! The PRR mail car/railway post office project is now open for discussion. Please feel free to post your ideas, progress and problems to the list, and any photos to the photo

Thanks, Bruce. I do have one, I believe Rich

Bob, Thanks! Headend cars rarely ever saw the carwashers so they got pretty dirty, pretty fast. I actually consider the weathering on these 3 to be light to moderate 😉 Regards, Bruce Bruce

Rich, I am not aware of any other sets. That Champ set is pretty good too. A reminder - these cars received buff lettering well before other "passenger" cars. Regards, Bruce Bruce Smith Auburn, AL

Excellent work, Bruce. A question, Does anyone make suitable decals, besides the old Champ set, for the R50b? I have an undec in my stash. Thanks, Rich Christie

Good to see these come back from exile. Nice highlights that bring out the cars interesting lines. Were these cars ever washed? They always look .... well used. Thanks for sharing. Bob Allan Omaha

Well done Bruce, They look like they did back in the day. Nice finishes. Fenton -- Fenton Wells 250 Frye Rd Pinehurst NC 28374 910-420-8106 srrfan1401@...

Bruce, They look great-thanks for sharing. The heavier application of weathering looks especially nice. Rod Clifford

Folks, Way back, for Project #2, in January, 2004, we started our R50B, express reefer project. At that time, I completed 3 cars, one Precision Scale brass car and modifications to two Walthers cars.

Bruce Gotcha...I understand. With so many things PRR it’s all time specific. Thank you Kris

Hi Kris, I model 1944, so all cabin car roofs are FCC. In the late 1940s, the PRR started applying asphaltum to cabin cars to stop leaks and only after that did it become codified in the Paint and

Bruce Very nice work. I like ur subtle blending of colors and weathering. It looks used but maintained. I have a question in the roof color.....maybe u answered it before and I missed it. What drove

Bill, Depending on which colonial car you are doing. Visit Rob’s site, there are drawings with the beltline and without. You are correct-Colonial Flags and Statesman don’t appear to have the
