This auction is for a four-car set custom-modeled to represent the Penn Valley Railroad's excursion train that visits railroads in the Susquehanna Valley including North Shore Railroad (NSHR), Shamokin Valley Railroad (SVRR), Lycoming Valley Railroad (LVRR), Nittany & Bald Eagle (NBER) and even the Union County Industrial Railroad (UCIR). Each car has been modeled to represent the prototype train car as closely as possible.

Baggage Car 1951 is a Walthers B-60B with replaced trucks to more accurately represent those used on the car. A correct roof was not available. The car has been assembled with grabs, Kadee scale head couplers, painted/decaled and weathered with extra weight for better tracking and with Intermountain wheelsets. The car undercarriage has been lightly weathered.

"Pullman" car 1954 "Spirit of Sunbury" was extensively modified from a Walthers car, with windows added/omitted, a diesel generator room included, and many other modifications too numerous to list. It also features Kadee scale head couplers, Intermountain free-rolling wheelsets, added weight and a flat tuscan paint job that reflects the cars roll-on paint job with appropriate decals. A mild weathering job was added to make the car look used.

Coach 1962 "Endless Mountains" is a Con-Cor PRR coach that is highly detailed, repainted glossy tuscan red with appropriate decals, Intermountain wheels and Kadee scale head couplers. A very mild weathering job was added to show slight use, but reflects the car's normal spotless appearance.

Caboose 478044 is a modified Bowser kit fully assembled with grabs and modernized to copy the real car used on the Penn Valley trainset. It has added weight, weathering, Kadee scale head couplers and Intermountain wheelsets.

Much work has gone into these four cars. They were completed and boxed up and have never even run as a trainset as I don't have a layout. They would look perfect behind Athearn's Lycoming Valley GP35s or Atlas' North Shore GP38s, both of which were normally used to haul this train.
