Ralph, list, the NKP BM-70Ka kit I'm getting started on came with a spliced clerestory roof described as made from BCW roofs (one seam, at the center). It is also supplied with BCW PRR baggage car end

Group, The next task on my M70b was to attach the eight steps to the car. Unfortunately, the plastic steps included with the kit cracked and fell apart when I looked at them. So, I decided to make rep

Hi List Members, I finally got a prior project finished and off my workbench - this means I can start real progress on my N scale MBM62 model - yea! As prep work, I had previously sketched out a slice

Hi Folks, A bit late out of the chute, but I have two BCW M70b kits I plan, like Rich, to back date to an M70 and an M70a. They’ll both require replacement roofs, which I hope to have in hand in a few

The PRR had more than a few steam shovels in their MOW department. They were often carried on FM flats. I have a picture of them working on the east side of the Dinsmore Tunnel. Any idea how these wer

M70 - Come to find out that the Rivarossi roofs are a problem for this project. First, they are 4' too short, second the curvature on the ends is too shallow, which means the roof is too narrow. This

Gang, Finally got started, not much yet. I obviously like obscure models, lol! I received the 3 Rivarossi RPO's as donors for 2 of the projects off eBay. Dave is light years ahead, lol! M70 - As I men

Pardon the interruption. The Spring 1993 issue of the Keystone had an extensive article on the PRR's RPOs. You may have heard that the PRRT&HS has published a new book about Altoona, and it is now ava

Hi List Members, I have a couple of questions regarding PRR GLa trucks, and a search thru my reference materials did not yield answers. It appears initially the Gla class had archbar trucks, and later

Group, here is a nice close-up of a PRR RPO in 1964. Unfortunately, the color is a little shifted on both pictures. https://rrmuseumpa.andornot.com/permalink/archives283864 and the interior: https://r

Also, I added the rest of the grab irons and the vapor regulators on the bottom of the car.

Group, one part of my M70b that I worked on was the axel driven generator. I added two conduit lines coming out of the generator, and I made the belt out of strip brass. I’ve included descriptions of

The first pic is the Walthers truck with the truck on the M70B in the Keystone article. I will probably have to change out the roller bearings for the solid bearings. Dave

For my BM70k, looks like most had 3D5P3 trucks. Does anyone offer one in HO? Or what might be the best stand in? ----------------------------------------------------------- Jerry Britton Member, PRRT&

I started a Westerfield HO scale X23 boxcar kit in November 2015. This morning I snapped photos of the almost completed model. It still needs Carmer uncoupling hardware. The model was painted with Val

Group, I did a little work on my M70B. First, I realized that my bolsters were off a little, so I removed them, and shifted them a bit towards the ends of the car. Next, I cut some styrene tubing to h

Dan Nice work. What did you use for the chain binders? I have had a hard time finding a suitable stand in. Thanks. Kris Kollar

Murphy’s Law is at work, again. Rapido has announce that they are going to release models of the PRR F30D TOFC flatcar. As might be expected I recently completed a Sparrows Point F30D kitbash from a B

I am looking for drawings and/or dimensions for those two towers. They were at each end of the tracks at Penn Station in Baltimore. I am modeling the station in O Scale with a 80% scale model of the s

I have uploaded three photos of my HO BM70KA to the Mail Cars folder at https://groups.io/g/PRRPro/album?id=258835 The model was built from a NKP Car Co. kit in 2013. The underframe is not at all supe
