Built as a 10 roomette/6 double bedroom sleeper for N&W. Converted to a coach when purchased by the PRR in 1963-64. Conversion required a slight revision of the window arrangement, which is evidenced by the double-sized windows in the middle of the car.

This nice looking car and several others cars like it would look very nice attached to let's say a steam locomotive like the 'J' 611!

Where's the giant Rivorossi box? Y'know... I take that back - definitely higher quality craftsmanship, I'd say Rapido, or perhaps, Budd. Per TVRM's site - built in 1949 by the Budd Company for N&W, later used by the PRR, then MARC and eventually to the WMSR which sold it to the TVRM in 2019. Thanks for sharing!
