Southern Pacific used on its Peninsula Route old Harriman Coaches, i have seen some pictures of them. My question is, are they available in HO scale?
Model Die Casting and Model Power Both make models of 60 Foot Harriman Passenger cars.
Check your local hobby shop.

The 60-foot Harrimans are available from Model Power and Roundhyouse, but they’ve always looked a little off to me. Except for the baggage cars, they’re too short, but the Roundhouse cars are easy to kitbash.
There are several niche manufacturers out there that make Harriman and other turtleback roof cars for the SP, but they’re brass and plastic car core kits, and not for the faint of heart. If you dig around long enough, you can find at least the materails necessary to build almost any passenger car ever made. For some reason, passenger trains and cars are much more popular than freight cars, which actually made all the money for railroads…
