Precision Scale Company (PSC) Pullman Heavyweights

Your best bet is to watch Ebay for PSC models. Most auctions will have a picture of the box label.

If there are photo's I save image AS A JPG.

I have been able to put a good list together this way.

but there is no list from them at all, sorry to say. The Baggage and RPO models there

were very few done. may be 10 or 12.

This consist is primarily PSC heavyweight cars.

I have maybe 25 of them. 

They were really good for their time.  Today, not so much.  They still bring extremely high prices, but most have incorrect roof end contours, no interiors, no lights, and trucks that need work.  I dumped all but my rather good Pullman Obs, which had correct roof ends and good trucks.

Opinion.

Thanks Bill, Erik, and Bob. PSC put the "heavy" in O-scale Pullman heavyweights. No lights, paint, window glazing, or interiors, but plenty of nice, heavy brass (and no plastic to ruin a perfectly good train.) I have five PSC Pullman heavyweights, but none match the consists I want to build which include the 1951 D&H/NYC Montreal Limited and the 1929 NYC Adirondack Division. I prefer the ones without the AC ducts.  As rare as PSC Pullman heavyweights are, they seem rather prolific relative to other importers. I also have a couple of the 3rd Rail brass heavyweight cars. If there are other brass heavyweight importers I should know about, please advise. I am using canadasouthern.com to figure out which Pullman plans I should be looking for.

Erik, your youtube video is jaw-dropping. What a consist! Thanks for sharing.

just to add my 2 cents.  I never really had good luck with the trucks on those cars.  even the later run GN heavyweight train with lights, interiors, painted etc... always electrical shorting problems and many hours spent figuring out where the short is and then tweaking things to remedy the problem.  again, just my experience with those models.
