Pershing Square Pullman resting in Pershing Square

Hello all

Pershing Square is the area directly in front of Grand Central Terminal on 42nd St Manhattan NY.

Pennsylvania Railroad had a Pullman Sleeper named Pershing Square

Here we have the Pershing Square Pullman made by Joe Fischer ( lights , interior , Bristol board construction 1950's) parked in front of Grand Central Terminal by TW with the Pershing Sq / Park Ave original NYC street sign 1920's -60's .



Bob Turner was very kind to give me the Pershing Square Pullman to add to my string of PRR cars . Thank you Bob!

Cheers Carey Williams

Bob if you please transfer the photos thank you

I was not sure that would work. They changed the list - now look for "copy image link'" then imbed that in the Img brackets provided here.

This car is now Carey's, since my place is not good for preserving card stock, or even some wood models. You can see it still has exquisite sides and rivet detail, but badly needs roof refinishing. Fortunately the roofs come off these fine cars, and some very fine sandpaper and lacquer based sanding sealer, followed by a satin coat of rattle can black, will make this one like new. Hope to see it in a moving video with its brethren.

I am following the posts on the PRR coaches - would love to know what the finish looks like, and if they actually measure up to well done Kasiner cars?
