1960s Fleischmann PRR 4-6-2 steam engine and Fleischmann / Pennline PRR Passenger Cars. The Observation Car is a 1950's Varney Metal passenger Car. Fleischmann Did Not Make a Obs car. So I used The Varney car. Put on Fleischmann Trucks and Couplers to make it fit in. You have to look close to notice difference.

Hey, I keep seeing one of these locos but in Union Pacific livery at the train show in good shape. The guy that sells it offers good prices for his engines usually so yeah, should I grab it? I love how bizarre it looks. -Steve
"A lot of modellers out there who go to these train shows see broken HO stuff and go, 'This is useless' when, in reality, they can still be used for modeling whether it's as a prop on your layout or a cool project to make something old new again."

Just for clarification, the only Fleischmann / Penn Line Passenger Cars were Northern Pacific. They were only marketed by Penn Line. The same metal Fleischmann Passenger Cars were available in Pennsylvania and Union Pacific liveries and sold only by Fleischmann.
