Why can't someone come out with some Pullman 72's or 75's (HO)? With all this great stuff available (Thank-you China for slave labor!) now you would think they would be out. I've tried the kits (Image/Fun..????), am way not good enough for those! I see that theres CNW bi-levels, wasn't there more Pullmans in use? Thanks for letting me vent....
Why would I go t the LIRR forum to ask a question about HO Passenger cars? What sort of cheap thrill do people get directing traffic when they are not qualified?):
Awhile back (early 1990's I believe) a resin kit was being sold at Willis Hobbies of the P-72. I'm not sure if it was limited run or just done through them but it was exact. I only purchased one. It came out so so but if I had the skill set for resin kits down pat back then (not that I have it now) it might have come out better.
The P-70 on the other hand was made by a company called Alco (not the locomotive manufacturer). If interested I know where some of these kits may be. Someone in my historical society has been trying unload them for several months. He may still very well have them.
P.S. There are a whole bunch of LIRR fanatics at the LIRR forum that may know something more about these kits.
