PRR 2DP5 Trucks on BEj and BEk Baggage cars - Correction

[NW Mailing List]

I do want to note a correction ­ the correct PRR truck class is 2DP5, not
5P.  I msut have suffered a little lesdixia in transposing the nomenclature.

I will be sending along a request to the Archives for pricing on the
relevant prints needed.

Many thanks to all who helped!
