Guys, 

 

Just got back into the studio. I LOVE this car! 

Have a look...

 

The only gripe I have and I am OK with it; according to ChipR this really is a PRR window arrangement not a PS 4-4-2 Imperial as I have here. But who is counting windows? It is missing the cute little teeny-tiny upper berth windows found on this series of cars. 

Ignore the "Lobster-Claws" they will be HISTORY when I get some spare time. But the high-water-pants was kept to absolute minimum, good job Scott! I mean really these cars are wonderful a gift!  

 

After debating with myself for a week I am keeping these trucks on the car. They are SUPURB... 

I like the interiors.

Fine Art Models at the rear (4-4-2 PS 1938 20th Century Limited)

I am not that big of a fan of the underbody but with some minor work I can make it look very impressive.

The trucks are spectacular and worthy of offering as individual sale items for those of us upgrading old kit built stuff! UHHH-HUM... Scott? 

I love how the GGD car roof looks, WONDERFUL- not too much not too little on the ribs. 

I am a little disgusted with this NASTY scratched off striping. I wonder if Scott would offer to fix this? 

 

Over all guys this is a celebration in O scale for decent passenger cars. I say thanks to Atlas and Golden Gate for listening to us and offering these fine models at a great price. Truly a home run! Now all we need is more western stuff!

A VERY fine example of the brass builders art

Wasatch Model Company's Placid series PS cars for the Union Pacific. I have seen some folks out there say the new GGD cars are brass quality at lower prices. I must agree that they are in class by themselves but can we get the underbody and filigree of this model imported in 1994? I hope so! They are in HO!
