Info needed about PRR RPO BM85

[OldEastRR]

Now that I've converted a KATO car into this, I'd like to know something about it. Is this class new lightweights, or rebuilt heavyweights? If LW, who was the carbuilder? What year were they built? Did they originally have small door windows or the large ones seen on this car:

According to the description of that photo you linked, it's actually an IC car, not a former PRR car.

Yes, I saw the note later. Still, PRR had something close to this car, it's listed in their equipment diagrams. (which is what I used for the conversion work)Hopefully there's a picture or some data available out there somewhere.
