What type of PRR freight or passenger equipment would y – image 1

The most ideal thing, from my perspective, would be threefold:1. Heavyweights, from the 1930s.
2. Streamstyled heavyweights, of the sort that soldiered on into the 1960s and 1970s, or those smooth-side coaches that the PRR & PC seemed to have so many of.
3. Streamlined Budd/Pullman-Standard/ACF cars from the post-war era. (If someone could sneak a square-end observation car in to match the most excellent PRR/NYC/PC set for Congressional and Senator service, that'd be great.)Any of those would be quite welcome, hopefully in a couple of liveries. Regardless of what winds up being done, I've always got more room for Pennsylvania stuff. I appreciate your interest in producing more rolling stock for the Standard Railroad.

RE: Passenger Trainsets, If You Please

In honestly, the rolling stock I would REALLY love to see done are the Metroliners. (I know that they were borderline PRR/PC, but I remember seeing at least one or two pictures of the units with the PRR emblem.)However, I certainly wouldn't complain if PRR heavyweights, Budd streamliners, or Pullman smooth-sided coaches were offered to greedy MSTS railfans like myself. ^_~

Not wanting to step on toes,but I don't think the Pennsy can have too many box cars..X-29 series specifically.
Used to watch those cars trooping by in the middle of the night and the steam engines would moan that haunting wail for a long time.
Watched them near Elmira Pa and later here in Indiana......

Up and down the MONON

Wow, yes, PRR Metroliners would be wonderful, along with versions painted for PC and Amtrak.And I too would like to see the turtle-roof, smooth-side P70's that I used to ride on the New York & Long Branch in the 1960's.
