Paul C. Koehler asked:
"Does anyone on this list have a good side view of this car for lettering
purposes. Mine is now painted and I would like to decal it correctly."

Rich Christie replied:
"Paul, Hopefully this helps. This is a one of a kind car."

First, NO DASHES IN PRR CAR CLASSES.

Second, the builder's photo helps to letter the dimensional data, but it does
not accurately portray the car in service as the "EXPERIMENTAL" reporting marks
were repainted "PENNSYLVANIA" after testing was complete.  See Bruce Smith's
article in The Keystone Modeler, Issue 37 for in-service photos.
