When Branchline Trains released its line of HO scale heavyweight passenger car kits starting in 2003, the first car was a heavyweight coach. This car was a good match for the PM's coaches #1100-1111 purchased in 1921, so they released it with three different numbers. Unfortunately, one of the numbers was 1116, which was the number of an Imperial Salon car the PM purchased nine years later, and was not as good a match for the kit.
Regardless, these kits, while a little bit fiddly to assemble, build up into very nice passenger cars. Atlas has purchased the Branchline car line, and released ready-to-run models of ths car in three numbers in early 2019.
