Again, looks awesome. Can't wait to see them in livery!

I have a bunch of this series - very well built. Be sure to check the trucks for easily fixed short circuits before painting. These are the most accurate Harriman cars in O Scale.
You know your Harrimans, Bob! While the WP didn’t called them like that, they are a virtual copy of standards harriman cars.

Santiago, Your photos are leading me to covet those couplers your using. Protocraft?, and which model?
Your photos and paint are stupendous as usual. Clover leaf Dry transfers? Some day when I run out of decals I will switch.
Hope All is Well with you and yorn, cat too...
Beautiful work as always!
Great work Santiago! I may have missed it, which brand of paint did you use?

Thanks, Terry! Couplers are kadee, but I do prefer protocraft. Clover house is the best!
Thanks, Will!
I use Revell enamels, Bobby. Thanks!

I really like that. Too bad you don't live in San Diego - I have ten that need paint.
If Santiago wasn't such a perfectionist he could make a living doing these things. Okay, maybe not a great living, but a living, none the less.
thanks for sharing Santiago!
A delight for the eyes!

You’re too generous, Jay!
Beautiful Work!
Thanks, Frank!!!
Santiago, Beautiful work on this and the rest of your Exposition Flyer. I also am building a flyer and have a few questions about this WP Coach:
(1) Which PSC Trucks did you use? Part Number? O-Scale or Proto-48?
(2) The WP Coaches of this series were 78 feet long. As far as I can determine, no such 78-Foot coach has been produced in O-Scale. Looks like you used a Sunset 3rd Rail 72-foot Coach as the base model?

Kevin,
I used the bolted type PSC Pullman four wheel trucks. Not 100% correct but close.
check out this thread for the final product...

Yes, I used 3rd Rail Harriman coaches. They are nice and not very expensive.
Also, check out Protocraft. They added a WP passenger car decal option to their site recently. I wasn’t so lucky!
good luck with your build!
Awesome work as usual Santiago.
Also, thanks for turning me on to Clover House. My 25 packs of window glass arrived the other day for my project.
Do you have a preferred scribe tool for cutting?
I don't, I just use a regular scribe tool. Make sure to do it over a hard and flat surface. This will prevent glass from breaking, mostly!
- Santiago,
I always enjoy your posts.
‘Beautifully done.
