SP and NP Private Cars
Author: coco

The private car passengers are from Ohio, and are doing a 17 day tour of the USA. See you down the track, COCO

Wish they would properly paint the NP dome in the two-tone-green Loewy scheme.

Best regards,

Rob L.

I agree, and turn the monad logo right side up while they are at it! (perhaps they put it on upside down to avoid trademark infringement?)

That said, it is a nice looking car and I am glad it is still running on the nation's rail network.

When you own a PV you can paint it how ever you want!

Let's not forget to mention that the lettering of "Northern Pacific" is the wrong size.

The Espee sleeper gets somewhat higher marks for accuracy.

The SP sleeper should have aluminum painted trucks and underbody, Daylight Red letterboard edged in black and PULLMAN on each corner of the letterboard. But, as someone else said, if you own the car, you may paint it anyway you see fit.
