I live in New Orleans (as of 02-01), so
train shows are kind of "shallow" in regard to PC/PRR/NYC stuff. I would be glad
to buy prints of NYC/PRR/NH remarks to PC (those still in original predecessor
paint but with PC reporting marks and logos superimposed), but there is no one
to sell them to me. The South is a beautiful, wonderful place to live but lacks
proximity to and interest in failed Northeastern RR's---my own love of the PC
notwithstanding. I guess that is part of the challenge of being a PC
modeler!

Lon: No list that I know of. Check
train shows. Sometimes priceless slides can be found. I have seen X29's
and X58's so far.
Henry: <<<I am in the middle of doing
an early Amtrak (we do middle 70's at the club) passenger train with PC
black E8's (P2K c/p job) on the head end renumbered to Atk, but still with
heralds. A real ratty rattler complete with "ghosted" road name boards on
some of the scruffy stainless coaches. Doing the nasty 70's has been a
lot of fun.>>>
Lon: hehehe I hear you brother! I have 2
LL E8's, one black PC w/ AMTK #'s and one AMTK. I plan on an AMTK "rainbow"
train w/ a little of
everything.
