Re: [CBQ] Con-Cor suburban commuter service cars

[Bob <drgw18@gmail.com>]

The recent Con-Cor releases of their "shorty" HW 
cars and suburban cars are all derivatives of 
their PRR MP54 series of cars.   AFAIK, they are 
not really similar to anything the CB&Q 
had.   The original release for MP54 cars were 
also "short" - but so were the prototypes.  You 
could picture them as the PRR version of the C&NW 
"Utility" cars that Rivarossi/Walthers brought 
out a few years back (and Rivarossi continues to 
bring out).  Nice cars, but somewhat limited in their application.
