Why?  The bulk of the cars are not right for PC plus the windows are
terrible (step backward from the Rivarossi cars).  There are a lot of
correct car sides available out there, so what we need (calling Mr. Kosty)
are decals for what is available, not more things that are wrong.

Also, rumors galore about better cars (may be closer to reality with the
Budd RDC from P2K this summer) to be put on the market in the not too
distant (or near) future.

For heavyweights, remember the Bachman heavyweights are correct for P70s
(depending on roof) and that most of the cars made by ECW saw PC service.

As for working from the photo of the "one" car with green window bands,
didn't one of the earlier PC passenger cars in HO or N (1970s)
come with green bands?  More of a case of reverting to bad habits, or did
they ACTUALLY get the photo of the one (ex NH?...) Sleeper?

Don't forget the red and gold PC passenger cars also, they were quite
sharp.
