Detailing and Painting PRR Units
Magazine Article:
Mainline Modeler, January 2004
Notes:
Bill Lane wrote an article about how he modified the A-B-A set by adding opened front coupler doors, Pennsy nose lift rings, and additional grab irons.
The PRR antenna took a bit more work. He built a brass drilling jig, so that he could properly position the stanchions for the antenna, and duplicate that effort on the other A-unit.
He tested the A-B-A consist to work properly in DC (required some electrical work), before installing DCC.
The article ends with how he painted the modified areas and applied weathering.
