Pennsy RR Bagagge Car

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

Dave: The PRR design car is not illustrated in the Color Guide because I 
didn't have a slide of one; but N&W had a series of the PRR design cars 
which were very similar to the Walthers model. The biggest difference 
was in the door windows. Haven't seen the Walthers N&W car, so don't 
know what they have done (if anything) about the doors. BTW, the PRR 
cars also showed up on N&W trains with some regularity, so you could use 
either version.  Jim Nichols
