Not in the new MTH catalog, will we ever get one?

 

Maybe lettered for Railway Express usage too?

 

 

 

 

Dick,

 

I believe the Lionel models you are referring to are N5C cabin cars with the porthole windows and the raked (or "streamlined") cupola.  What many of us are looking for is the N5 with square windows and vertical (right angle) cupola.  While the Pennsy itself had both, other roads such as Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines had a bunch of N5 cabin cars but zero N5C's.
