I'll have to do more reading on the issues that HOT WATER pointed out.
Also, Rob M. points out the cost of acquiring RDCs was staggering for the Pennsy. That is opposite of what the Budd Company was professing. More reading to be done then.
Dan the PRR Keystone article on motor cars on the Pennsy is really well written and very complete. The RDC part is just a fraction of the article.
If I recall (don't have the article handy here at my other house) the issue for the PRR at the time was that they had a glut of passenger equipment so investment in any new passenger equipment wasn't fiscally prudent.
I would like to know the keystone number issue if possible. This could aid my doodlebug modeling in O gauge.

It's Autumn 2017, Volume 50 No. 3.

The Pennsy had a whole slew of different motor cars. The article appears to chronicle them all.
