Building a PRR Pullman "Poplar" Series Plan 4060 6-6 Sleeper

[OldEastRR]

The sides will be available on KVModels.com as well my eBay store.  I did the initial test run of sides which are gone now. They will go into production now and remain in inventory indefinitely.

Please post links to both.

Hi Scott,
Looking at the photos of that car here and on the Modeling the PRR in N Scale FB Page I can only wait for your product to be come available. The list above is the PRR roster of the 4060 cars and is suitable enough to have at least two of the models in a roster. It would be interesting to see what other roads used the 6040 plan. Great work Scott.

Al

Scott-
The CB&Q had
POPLAR FLAT   
POPLAR BRANCH
...but they were Plan 4084 and had a considerably different window arrangement.   There were a bunch of those cars (24) and a few more with subclass suffixes (21) which I haven't researched if the windows were changed.   
If you are interested I am working up the 4090 C&E sides, end and roof for
ZEPHYR TOWER
ROCKET TOWER (CRI&P)
DENVER TOWER
MISSOURI TOWER
I think the way to do it is to make the roof a RP piece with the end beveled to fit the MT body end profile filed flush with the side height.   The ends tapered to the diaphragm.   I would model the cut-down full-width striker plate as an etching to fit on the end of the M-T stock diaphragm.

I am focusing on sleepers or parlor cars.  Cars that had a big presence across several roads.  The solariums and obs cars all seemed to be somewhat unique and don’t easily fit on a Microtrains core.  I won’t be doing anything that is not a straightforward build at this time.  Well, I should say that this true for all roads except for the DL&W.  I need those so...

Scott,

I should be able to supply you with a better drawing of the modified roof for use with the MTL cars. If you want a copy please PM me.

@Alwyn Cutmore trust me @Scott Lupia knows what plans the PRR used. I'm thinking he'll bless us with getting though all of them

I was able to finish up my 4 sides but here is a photo of one by the etch. Waiting on my keystone details parts to finish them up.
