Pennsylvania Railroad N5/N5b Project Information
(Kohs & Company N5 w/cp Version #11 production model)
|
The Pennsylvania Railroad N5 class of cabin car was the largest single group of cabooses that the PRR had in service and they served longer than any other class as well. We will model the basic 'as built' N5, the N5 w/collision posts as well as the N5b and the N5b with radio antenna. A variety of period paint schemes will be offered and the detailing will correspond to the service period modeled. Our N5/N5b project will be built to the same standard as our highly sought after N5c cabin cars and will be improved with the lessons learned in producing that project. Listed below are the basic features you can expect with a Kohs N5/N5b cabin car as well as the list of versions with graphics illustration links so you can see what the actual graphics arrangement will look like on the model of your choice. |
