Would this pass for a Pennsy coach?

The Pennsy had a very individual style, I would venture to say that any generic coach would be represented on the PRR but if you are looking for a coach that screams Pennsy I would go for a P70 style coach as represented by Bachmann's Spectrum line coach. The coach you painted would no doubt represent a coach rostered by PRR, but the "Standard" coach would be more of a P70 style. if you are not concerned with perfection, but rather " close representation" then I would say yes, go with what you have. I like it anyway.

Thanks, Dave! Once it was done, the red looked almost too brown & dark. But I think I will use it anyway as a generic coach. I'll also look into getting 1-2 P70 styles made by Bachmann.

I mostly model British trains from the 1950s or 1950s CNR and CPR, so I'm venturing into new territory with the Pennsy. I've had this sharknose diesel for years. Originally, it was painted in in-authentic CNR colours (as CN never had them) & that bugged me. I think it looks really good in the dark red -- I'll try to post pics in due course.
