We have a lot of West Penn drawings in the PTM library, but many have not
yet been unrolled.  I can't say whether or not we have this one or not.  But
I can tell you all about the spittoons for the 700s!

Hi Derrick,

Thanks for that, you are quite right, I was mistaken regarding the side of
the bridge the RR tracks were on. Having never been there, I only know what
I've read or seen in video's.

One last request to anybody out there, does anybody have any plans of the
200 series West Penn local cars please (like 294) as i would like to build a
model of one, I would be happy to trade or pay for copying.

Thanks again Derrick, you've answered all my questions.

Cheers
Greg
