Bill Lane's Conrail Model Story

Notes:

A small number of these models were available factory-painted and lettered with either freight-car brown or tuscan red. The majority were sold unpainted. As a prototype side note, the cars without the rooftwalk should have only been painted and decorated for the Penn Central or Conrail, not the PRR.

Bill Lane states that his model required many hours to super-detail.

Ed Kirstatter took this photo of Jack Sudimak's model, which shows the PRR-specific trainphone antenna and the gray-painted cupola.

Bill stripped one of the PRR-painted models and repainted it for the correct paint scheme for Conrail.
