For some of us, modeling the PRSL is the only way of connecting to the memory of it. The transition era was before some of us were born. Here are some examples of members modeling the PRSL.

I may be the only person that models the PRSL in S Scale. This N5 is a brass Overland Models piece that was imported in 1985. It is the first Cabin Car that I ever painted in about 1991. It is right out of the box with no modifications. I was trying to simulate the white streaking under the lettering, as best as I could with the “Binks” airbrush I was using at the time.

 

This PRSL Baldwin AS16 is a one of a kind scratchbuilt plastic shell. I acquired it as a shell only in a “no holds barred” buy and trade deal. I reworked a brass GP30 drive purchased from eBay for it. This engine is substantially further towards completion then in this photo here. See here:

 

 

 

This is an S Scale PRSL B60 made by Southwind Models. I changed the doors and added the K4 tender style trucks.
