Custom PSC Western Pacific Harriman baggage project

SANTIAGOP23OGR Forum Member

Another car I'm working on at the moment... got it as a custom RI, but in the process of making it into a WP for my Expo. Car has been stripped and is ready for detail work. Need to add a few grabs and steps, and remove most of the roof ceiling. Already got dry transfers from Clover House. The trucks feel loose and wobbly, so I'll have to see how to make them more rigid.

I have a good pic of 136 from my Expo Bulletin, but more pics of these cars would be appreciated!

Primed truck sides

Painted wheels look much better

bye bye sloppy paint job

I might pull out my consist of expo cars and photo them all. The mods I did on my 10/1/2, and 8/5 are extensive. Black sashes are sweet, Dr Allen is a big help. I will see if I have the G.O.D’s for these cars from Sam Tech and email them. They are confidential

If you could I'd appreciate that, of course I'd keep them confidential. Your expo consists belong in a museum, Erik. And those E5's are the ultimate Expo power for sure!

While reinforcing solder joints in the underframe of my Harriman baggage I compared it to DP's and a couple of prototype photos, and I realized I have to change everything down there! Challenge accepted .
