Bill,
I apologize for knowing next to nothing about the Pennsy. My prototype road is the CGW. Interesting sidebar about the CGW is that A. B. Stickney, the founder of the company, wanted to imitate the PRR in being a granger version of the standard railroad of the world. Historians agree that in this he fell far short of the goal. But now to your stock car models. You refer to the "shortcomings" of your cars. They look pretty good to me, and I do not object to altering an AM box car for such a project. I'm curious about the shortcomings to which you refer. I have to believe that a PRR stock car pergrinated out to Iowa and operated on the CGW.

I made 2 PRR K7a stock cars. I wanted to see them run on my layout. In spite of some known accuracy shortcomings even at the time of building them, I think they still stand out amongst other readily available S cars. This was before I was into building and bashing in brass, so this proves I HAVE used plastic to make stuff in S! It have just been a long time.
