[PRR-talk] Tower View, etc

[Ted Andrews]

Hi Bob:
 
What are you going to use for the antenna stantions? It appears that these stantions and antenna railing are smaller than those used on the locomotives.
 
I am planning to install the antenna on my HO scale Rivarossi Tower View car. I came across an N-scale detail part for an PRR Antenna PRR Locos (see attached path). It is made by JNJ Trains part number 344-0555. It may not be a perfect match as far as accuracy goes but it does provide the smaller size for that these antennas.
