Hey all:
Does anyone have pictures of the Lindbergh Special passenger cars that go with the Lindbergh Special #460 E6 Atlantic? If you don't have pictures what is your honest opinion about them?
Thanks!

I'd ask PRR Bill.....I just posed a similar question. He's very well versed on the PRR.
I don't have pix (new Forum easier), I got the cars to go with the engine, the numbers are correct, they have Photo equipment in the Bag. I'm OK with them, I know they're not GGD P70's but fine to have the whole LIONEL issue.

FYI, for those who are not SPFs (Slobbering Pennsy Fans and you know who you are), PRR Atlantic No. 460 was coupled to B60B baggage car No. 7874 and P-70 passenger coach No. 3301 for the run from Washington D.C. to NYC.
For those who want a brief perspective, go to the RRMP (Railroad Musuem of Pennsylvania) page.
Mike, I cannot put my fingers (or the mouse's cursor) as of this moment on the pictures yet I'm pretty sure I've seen them. Too much system overload recently. Try a search at such PRR sites as Jerry Britton's Keystone Crossings and Rob Schoenberg's Pennsylvania Nation.
Lastly, the book 'bible' for anything concerning PRR passenger cars is Chuck Blardone & Peter Tulip's book "Pennsylvania Railroad Passenger Car Painting and Lettering". There is no other.
But I do have to tell you that I have it on excellent authority, and many have & will agree, that prrbill doesn't know crap. He does however, still have a rather extensive PRR library which he sometimes glances at. But he wishes he still had his MAD magazines from the '50s & early '60s along with those DC & Marvel comics. Not for $$ but for the intellectual stimulation.

Thanks for the info prrbill! I appreciate it! I am hoping someone does put photos up soon. I want to buy them but I would like to see how they look before I pull the trigger. I already have the 460 so getting the passenger cars to go with them would be spectacular!
Mine have supposed to have shipped but I don't have them yet otherwise I would post up pictures. Until then I run my engine with other passenger cars. Still fun.
Wasn't the train on the historic Lindbergh run made up of two heavyweights behind the Atlantic?

Check the photo album forum. I posted some (not high quality) photos there.

I like the cars and my son has pronounced the set and his new favorite train (for now).

Here are a few additional pics. The cars are well done and look good behind the 460.
