Yep.. Look at those beautifully contoured ends on the roof.
Another thing I am just now noticing - Ed's B & O colors are more pleasing than most. Do I detect some slight blue hue in the grey?
Ed is an inspiration. These Walthers kits have serious value. I personally do not care for the prewar rivets on the sides, but Ed makes them look great!
Let me post a few PSC - these are, with the exception of dust and tarnish, right out of the box. All have been run on my test loop in trains behind my famous MM-2 fleet of back-up Malleys.
Top is a later production (good roof end contours, better trucks) Pullman. These are really gorgeous models for their era (1980s). Next is a Harriman diner, and the bottom, obviously, is a Harriman RPO. The Harriman cars have correct roof contours, something that has not yet been duplicated in O Scale.
I said it before - I actually prefer my Walthers cars - not nearly as accurate, but on the other hand, I invested more labor than screwing on couplers. I may never paint these things - they sort of lose their brassness with a really good paint job.
Just me - sort of opinion.
