[Edward H. Lybarger]

1)  On North Beeson Avenue in the first block north of Penn Street.

2)  I do not believe this is so.  PRCo paint was lighter to begin with; I
believe the paint on the front end of 3756 is too dark.

3)  Black roofs were the norm, to the best of my knowledge.

4)  Out of my area!

5)  Bad.

There are still a few open questions from the past couple of weeks that I
hate to lose sight of.

1 - Where was the freight terminal in Uniontown located for the West Penn?

2 - It seems we have agreed on "orange, omaha orange, or traction orange"
for
both the West Penn cars and the Pittsburgh low floor cars for modeling
purposes.   Is this a fact.

3 - We have not got an answer for the roof and doors/windows on low floor
cars for
modeling.  Is roof brown the best choice for the West Penn cars and/or PRCo.

4 - While there is considerable discussion on the PRCo red for the PCC's,
for
modeling purposes most seem happy with signal red and cat whisker yellow
from
Poly S, but Floquil's cream and signal red were acceptable under flouescant
lighting
and  Badger Model Flex Caboose Red (16-08) and Antique White (16-06)  have
worked.

5 - Just how bad is the information in CERA 110?
