Bachman's doodlebug is a baggage-only (no RPO) prototype with a certain
number of passenger windows.
The CB&Q had very few RDC's that resemble this type and therefore one
has to carefully choose a proper road number for the model.
Also note differences in details such as the rooftop vents and the front
windshield frame. This is harder to kitbash.
