Question for PRR Experts

Do you have a picture of the car you want to replicate?

Did you look at GGD p70 FAR cars? They have A "turtle" roof.

The issue is to find a single car as those were sold in sets of 4. Try Beth at Public Delivery Track.

Interesting car to model, and looks like it will require a lot of custom building.  I have never seen a P68 or a PRR clearance car modeled, but after looking at pictures, my suggestion would be to acquire any 15" or 18" baggage car with 4-wheel trucks, as you choose, and start the modification process.  Cutting out and rebuilding the "whisker" part will be quite a challenge.

I couldn't find plans for the car you wish to model, but plans for a P68 (the only one I could locate) seem to be obtainable from the Pennsylvania Historical Museum Commission for a fee.  At least then you will know where to start.

Good luck,

Chuck

WOW  Thanks for those suggestions-this is, IMHO, EXACTLY what continues this hobby as so much fun for this old man. Pennsynut-I couldn't figure out how to get the address to some nice info/pictures of this car-but Google "pennsylvania clearance car" and the second or third recommended site will be "clearance car 497125 Ketstone Crossings"-some nice description and pictures. Prrhorseshoe curve-those GGD cars are perfect-except they are 21"-and all my Pennsy passenger consists are in the 15-18" ( mostly 15) range--so that car may be a bit too long. So I will talk with our #5 child ( a mechanical engineer for Briggs&Stratton) who use to be a WWII tank modeler and who builds such cars for me ( with lots of prodding)-to see what he thinks about using a 21" car.  Thanks so much-and if you folks come across a car which is even close, let me know. Thanks so much, turtle7

Sorry for the late reply turtle7. I should have googled a searched for an image of the car in the first place. PRR1950 has good advice. Hope to learn how you do it.
