Also the word from several manufacturers iis that PC locomotive models, passenger cars (Walthers Budd) aren't selling as well as expected. If there are to be more PC paint schemes on existing and future models, then we modelers need to support the manufacturers and purchase these models. If it sells, they will (continue to) make it. Agreed!! I have
purchased at least 12 of the Walthers PC cars with 4 of the new lounge
(parlor)cars on order. A happy surprise was the decal set with
the new 52 seat coaches which also contain the car names for all 16
PC parlor club cars in the 7130 to 7145 series. You could model the entire
fleet if you wanted to.
In the
Walthers series, the diner, 52 seat coach, lounge and baggage-dorm(NYC-PC)
are PC prototypes. These cars look great, although the angle of the
logos is a little too sharp. It's something I chose to
overlook.
I have
purchased many other of the recent PC models as well and as I can
afford. We did not have such a great selection to choose from even
just 10 years ago. Pure economics.. if it doesn't sell, it won't be
produced.
