Looking for PRR passenger train experts

Pennsylvania Railroad steel passenger cars were painted without striping from Jan 1934 until near the end of 1948. Of course there will be overlapping as in service cars were repainted.

The Lionel cars are too short and ride on 6-wheel trucks while PRR heavyweight coaches had 4-wheel trucks.  The striping is a minor issue.

They made a set of heavyweights a couple of years ago with 4 wheel trucks. Most dealers had a hard time selling them because they did not match up to previous production.

pennsyk4,

Thanks for the info.

Bob,

The matching coaches have two wheel trucks (the diner is shown for my stripe example since it was the easiest to copy).  Granted, the Lionel coaches are not GGD P70s, but then again I did not post this on one of the scale forums.  These cars will go well with my K-Line 18" cars.

Wow, I didn't know Lionel did some coaches with 4-wheel trucks.  Good for them and thanks for the info. 

They did them about four or five years ago to go with the PRR BB1's.

They were in the 2005 vol 1 catalog. PRR 6-15554 3 car  and PRR 6-15558 add on car. 18 inch cars. They also did them in Long Island
