Modelling License?

Postby ScaleCraft » Thu Jun 25, 2020 9:52 pm

I used to model PRR. Not precisely, but did. Cannot recall a baggage with vestibule ends and side doors. Yeah, way back, duckbill roofs and open vestibule...
Of course, you cannot make out the number allegedly modeled here. My general rule of thumb always was vertical board sides, truss rods.
Nope.
Oh, well. Interesting...right down to the windows on the sliding doors.

Actually kind of cool looking in an "MU-ish" trailer sort of way, though really short.

Somebody - probably no longer with us - no doubt enjoyed building and running that.

I am only a partial SPF, but I can assure you none of my PRR passenger equipment has accurate windows, doors, or underbodies.

Funky. :wink: :wink: There were a host of PRR baggage cars in between the duck bill roof era and the 20th century era that everybody focuses on, but as far as I know none were vestibule end. Usually the baggage doors were far more complicated in detail, and in several classes of cars of that era there was at least 1 window in between the baggage doors. None would have had those trucks under them, :lol:
