NYC passenger sides
|
Among the many passenger cars in the museum are a pair of streamline cars, and RPO and a coach. One car came from Illinois, the other from Florida. I'm told the builder was Tom Boldt.
They both have roof, floor, center sill of milled wood.
The basic underside details look fabricated.
The ends are white metal, I think are from J-C Models.
The mystery are the sides. They're definitely not the J-C aluminum stampings. They seem to be plastic, laser cut and etched possibly???
Can anyone identify the source?
Does anyone else have more?

Tommy -- I think the sides are from Union Station Products.? Bob McCarthy introduced S passenger car kits with Union Station Products S scale sides.? USP does prototype styrene sides in O, S, HO, and N, all properly scaled from the same digital masters.? I? have forgotten the proprietor's surname; his first name i s Mark. MRIM has a ten-car S scale NYC 1938 20th Century Limited train that uses USP car sides, built by yours truly.? For this train, USP did not nave the digital version of the proper Pullman Car Co. observation car, but I did.? So I sent a copy to Mark and he added that car to his product line, no extra charge, -- Dick Karnes, MMR |
