That is a great article, and a great site. The fact that the dies were made by
Red Caboose/Intermountain explains why the detail on the PRS cars is so good.
IMHO, as good as any in any scale.
I was able to pick up an unbuilt GN 50' Boxcar kit at a "local" show as few
weeks ago; first PRS item I've seen locally, and one of the few "scale" S
models I've seen (for sale, at least) around this area. It's kind of ironic,
considering the PRS was based not 70 miles from here.
I think I got lucky...
