Model Railroading > Pennsylvania P70k Coaches question

I have acquired a Nickel Plate Products version of what I can best research as a Pennsy P70k coach

My questions are-1. Are there any photos of these cars in the early to mid-60's in the 4 Kesystone (simplified) scheme?
                        2. What number series would they be in at that date?

I have exhausted all my books and internet searches.

Thanks,

According to the PRRTHS they were numbered 4244-4309 in 1954: http://pennsyrr.com/kc/data/varnish/search_class.php?q=P70k&Search=Search

I was not able to find a more recent roster. George Elwell's site http://passcarphotos.info/Indices/PRR3.htm doesn't show any in the simplified scheme. Maybe they had been scrapped by that time? Perhaps Ken McCorry will check in with more info.

Not sure how long the rebuilds lasted. I will see what I can find. ---  Ken

I just talked with good friend Charlie Carangi who is a PRR pass expert. He said the P 70k's since they were rebuilds lasted until the end of the PRR. No renumbering of these coaches known so they should still be in the 4244-4309 series. Since they lasted until the end they probably would have been painted in the Keystone only scheme.  I have not found a picture of one in that scheme.  ---- Ken
