[PRR-talk] Pennsylvania Ry mP54-Steam Era Coach

[Harry Abendroth]

Hmm,

The combine version of the P-54 would be interesting to more than PRR
fans. Several migrated to the Erie, and later the Susquehanna. At least
one of the NYS&W cars survived for many years in M/W service.

Eric,

This was also announced last month in TKM <G>.  We're working with them
and they seem genuinely interested in accuracy.  Please note that the
MP54
is NOT an MU car with pantographs, but a the steam hauled coach.  As we
have noted here before, these were known as MP54 (or sometimes mP54). 
When these cars were converted to MU service, they were given an "E"
suffix.  That said, the mP54 coaches could be a really interesting
addition.  Among other things, these cars would make a passenger train
on
a small layout a lot more realistic.  Of course, we can also hope that
ConCor might eventually produce an MU too!

Regards
