Where to find Athearn heavyweight HO passenger car interiors

Walthers has had seat bench kits for many years that appear right for the heavyweights. Aside from that, knowing what the interiors of the Pullman cars will also help. I'll note that all of the cars are shortened so seat quantities and so forth won't be "right" for the cars.

-- Bob May Losing weight is easy! If you ever want to lose weight, eat and drink less. Works every time it is tried!

There's a company called Palace Car Co. which makes interior kits for these and other "second tier" passenger cars. By "second tier", I'm talking about IHC, Con-Cor, Rivarossi, MDC, and a couple others. I saw his stuff at the train show and bought a few of his kits to see what they're all about.

Usually, the kits contain a weight for the floor cut to size, a handful of seats, a couple of walls (depending on the kit), and 3 possible plans for that car. If you have a specific prototype you want to go with, you might have to cut your own internal walls. He uses .030 styrene, mainly.

They are out of Kearney, Nebraska. I'm looking for an address, but I think the literature I picked up from their booth is in the box that's being shipped to me....

They don't seem to have a web site. Gene ABV61-1043.001.HCB

"Skinny Dipping and Other Stories" On the web at or and look for "Into Joy From Sadness" soon.

No they don't. I asked about it, and they said they had email, but that was it for now. I think they were going to eventually have an ordering page, but they weren't moving quickly towards that area.

All the literature I picked up at the show is being shipped home to me along with all the stuff I bought, so it'll be a few days before I can post whatever details I can....
