Over the years I've seen a lot of the Walthers PRR N-5 cabin cars around. They are not an easy model to build and results have been all over the place. I picked up an unstarted kit and decided to try my hand at building a decent model if possible. Here are the results. Car rides on a prototypically correct set of PRR single coil trucks in brass I had picked up at a train show. Decals are Middle Division. I decided to add the reinforced ends the Pennsy added to most of their N-5's in later years using brass. I uderstand it doesn't meet today's technological standards, but I thought it pretty nifty for a 1940's offering. I believe the project shows you can make a decent Walthers PRR cabin car if you are willing to put in more time and effort than you probably should!
