Long and short RPO's??
| December 08, 2022 05:31AM |
Found this topic and following with interest, I am trying to get my head around these RPO's, so I suppose my question could be answered by showing this photo, I have a chance to buy this H0n3 model, but I want to put the baggage door back in, repaint it and use it is an RPO on a San Juan set, would this be prototypically correct??
But am I correct in assuming this model is incorrectly numbered, RPO 54 is a different style with 3 windows per side, are there short and long RPO's?
I am basing that on the notion that way cars had a 0 affixed to the original car number, so this would/should have been RPO 54 which it plainly isn't.
Another aspect that I am confused about is the end platforms, were these added at a later date and too all RPO's?
