4 P-70s, an RPO and an Observation. You can ditch the RPO and Observation, because the P-70s are what you want. You can also get some Con-cor P-54s because those were also used postwar by PRR in commuter service.

I am surprised that Bachmann has yet made new dies for their Heavyweight coach line, as it was stated previously on this forum that the old dies had worn out, hence no more heavyweight coaches being offered.  Not sure if Bachmann ever made coaches in the later steamlined versions.

The new Hornby/Rivarossi only markets their 60' Heavyweight coaches in  two roadnames and an undecorated version. There are no streamlined coaches at all being offered.

Also, with the demise of IHC whose heavyweights and streamlined coaches were offered in just about any roadname no longer being made there certainly has been a decline in what is available now.
