For great information on PRR passenger trains of the time period, get Harry Stegmaier, Jr's. book "Pennsylvania Railroad Passenger Trains, Consists and Cars - 1952." <br /> <br />In HO scale you're really in luck in terms of model availability. The Bachmann Spectrum series heavyweight cars are all PRR prototypes, except for the 10-1-2 Pullman car. Pennsy P70 coaches, a business car and a combine also are available from Eastern Car Works. <br /> <br />All of the following Rivarossi cars are PRR prototype: the "1930's" observation, the 10-6 Pullman and the duplex roomette Pullman, and the RPO; and the "1920's" duplex room Pullman and the 12-1 Pullman (the latter was used on many other roads as well). <br /> <br />Walthers' new heavyweight Pullman sleepers will be appropriate for Pennsy as are their 10-5 and 4-4-2 streamlined sleepers and their Budd "lounge car" (actually a PRR parlor car. <br /> <br />And then there are the other headend cars available, including B60b baggage cars, express reefers and X29 boxcars.
