PRR G39 project at Strasburg

Will this co be taking orders for production?

Yes. That’s why it is being shown at the show tomorrow.

Dear Mark , Chris and others,

The main purpose of the display tomorrow is to show off the initial prototype G39 and touch and feel the real deal.

I am sure orders will be taken in the very near future.

What is interesting is that after 15 years of my searching for someone to do this car, Dylan Lambert received a email  09/21/23 from me asking if he could consider this project and tomorrow I will be displaying the prototype

Less than 30 days!!!!

Special thanks to George Losse and Jim Musser for suppling all the drawings and technical advise on  the G39 project.

Very unique car!!

thank you .

John,

I had no idea where he got the idea from. Thank you for moving this along. Now I need decals and 3 rail trucks.

So I do appreciate seeing the kind words here gang. It does mean a lot. I've probably put more time into getting these details perfect than just doing the car superstructure itself. It's also helped create a library of parts in CAD that I can use. Brake cylinders, air tanks, hand brakes, ladder rungs, etc.

So I finished putting these together last week. While my paintwork isn't what I'd call museum grade, this last car showed a few other things to refine. But I can't deny that it looks good. It's certainly a far sight different than the car that was at Strasburg.

Thanks to Al Judy, a nicely painted and lettered sample car is complete... Some weathering will be coming soon.

Thanks to Al Judy, there's now weathering on the first complete G39 ore car. I would probably have never been introduced to this car, or be well on my way to doing an earlier G38 if it wasn't for John Dunn. I've been designing stuff for a long time, but John was the first person who I had an interaction with that I would equate to seeing a child open a present on Christmas morning. He was outright giddy when he got his hands on that first developmental car. And now a few months later it's here. A far sight improved from that first car. There's now painted, lettered, and weathered model on Crown trucks that didn't yet exist when I started this project back in the very beginning of October.
