So when is MTL going to take their green SWC, put their "Erie baggage car truck" on it, use an "Erie" print pad, and make what I want in one piece?
The year 1934 brought cars 2250-2256 into the modern era with the installation of steam-jet air conditioning. Unlike most Pullman-built cars, this air conditioning addition did not add large ducts on the sides of the clerestory roofs. Minimal changes to the roof included a large access hatch at one end of the top of the roof and the closing of air vents at the sides of the clerestory roof. Air conditioning units were added to the underbody of the cars. By 1937 steam-jet air conditioning had been added to most of the remaining cars.
2 different bolster centers with the 4 wheel vs 6 wheel?... how are they doing the 6 wheel truck? Different underframe mold insert?
The clerestory on the single window model is very smooth now that I see it on screen, well, it is smoother than it looks- to my eye very much like the patching of clerestory windows on the roof of Erie 2996 pictured a few entries above- appears that the AC vents shown in the various photos would need to be added, but only a couple of small vents need to be shaved. And, in an attempt to be first (shown with a UP painted paired window for comparison)....
