Ok like I need another project!! I'm in the middle of converting acouple of old Athearn F-Units that I rebuilt (they are quiet and run fairly smooth now) I am converting them to be the NS Corporate engines I know their is a model of them now buyt when I started there wasn't dang it and I had these F-Units sitting around anyway and I heck like Athearn stuff and....let me get back to the subject on hand....I have a tendnecy to babble about my projects.
Anyway I live in Noblesville, IN and we have the ITM here and they run the Fairtrain to the State Fair every year. Its like 12 bucks for a round trip on old restored Budd Passenger cars...its a great ride. I would pay just for the ride! Anyway they have a older Pullman-Standard NKP 1 Corp car built in 1929. Now I am planning on modeling the Indiana area when I finally get the space to build my layout. Till then I have been contructing and modeling things that I see and like, I got a list a mile long...I'll post pics as I complete them. Anyway there is a picture of the car at the links below. I am having trouble finding a model of it...Has this car ever been modeled? If so by who? Is it a specific type or model of Pullman car? As you can see I am kinda of a newb when it comes to passenger cars. I can't find anything with the right number of windows and the viewing deck on the back.
This is the car as it is right now:
Here is the car as the ITM got it about 8 years ago but you can see the deck:
