yesterday while tearing down an inaccurate walthers PRR car named union league club, solarium observation I found an unpainted section of the interior wall with the words Ptapsco and Back River daily log. this car is one of a batch of eight cars off the bay and all were in rough shape except for two Pullmans which with a little cleaning will stay the way they were, named Herald Square and Times Square in the window is train number Y12 I have been unable to find any info about PRR train Y12. the original builder of these 8 cars appears to know his stuff cause all the underbodies appear correct for box, water tank, and air conditioning pump placement all are reasonably well detailed with handrails steam and air lines and the vestibule steps are painted Tuscan with black step treads per prototype. this set included 3 P70 coaches # 3549, 3650, 3717, 2 28 seat 1 drawing room cars, Belle Haven, Eaton, the 2 aforementioned Pullmans and Union League Club. was this a real PRR train Y12 and when and where did it run. and I'm from Nebraska whats the ptapsco and big river railroad, because every car I've reshopped has the same paper interior with what appears to be switching info on it if you stare at the painted interior walls you can see car info and movement data anybody know anything about my mystery did this guy work for Ptapsco and Back river that's why his cars all have interiors made out of daily train log and did he commute to work on train Y12? when ever I reshop and old car I wonder about the original builder this cat intrigues me can anyone help me fill in the puzzle. only time and maybe you have the answers
