<div>Peter, I suspect I'm opening up some more chances to get shot at, but:</div>
<div>1)the pictures of passenger cars in the McClure & Plant book are very useful for getting a reasonable color match, particularly the one picture of a train with an N&W car in it. (running the risk of prolonging the discussion of light and film over time)</div>
<div>2)My understanding is that the PA project (DP?)has been cancelled, and your deposit should be cheerfully refunded.</div>
<div>3)Rich Yoder's car is exquisite, but in O it retailed for something around $300 and was sold out. I don't know that an HO car would be much less. And as for getting a train of them.....it appears that the new F&C kit is a marked improvement over the prior version. </div>

Perhaps some of the energy created by this discussion could be directed at someone to producing a Vgn PA (I'd paid my deposit) the passenger cars to match (ditto) and seeing if Rich Yoder would consider again an HO battleship gondola. In the meantime I have seen a photograph or two of an MB with a passenger train and I've made that compromise, pulling an Athearn baggage/RPO detailed with some extra bits and the Walthers PS heavyweight coach. As an idea, has anyone thought of producing car ends to use on the Walthers coaches?<br>
