I would be interested in knowing something about the above mentioned PRR (Frisco paint scheme) spleeping car: is it a “real car” model or an incorrect ( or, even, a never existed) one?

Thanks

This car often ran through on the Penn Texas from Chicago to St Louis where it ran on the MKT-Frisco Texas Special to San Antonio. I have one and its very nice although the red is a little dark. But there is a lot of discussion about Texas Special red so this really this is subjective.

I’m not sure why walthers ran this right now unless it also ran on the Broadway from New York to Chicago. They also have done the Mopac Texas Eagle sleeper that took the same route. I wish they would do Texas Special as no one has done a decent one in HO like the many that have been done in O.
