Re: [CBQ] Pre-War Streamlined Coaches

Ken,

Oriental Limited did, indeed, import the pattern dome.  If it's not listed, the 
brass Guide is wrong.  They came in with the VIsta Dome TCZ set, way before the 
Shoreham Shops version - Shoreham had not yet become Railway Classics.

I have a model of CB&Q's "Silver Dome" which the box indicates was imported by 
Oriental Limited. I can't seem to find this car in the Brass Model Trains Price 
and Data Guide, but was wondering if anyone might know if any of the 
flat-topped prewar streamllined coaches may have been imported at about the 
same time. According to the Guide, Railway Classics imported some of these 
(Catalog # CBQ16 -- Nos. 4703, 4704, 4707-4715). There is no import date for 
the Railway Classics cars, but I suspect these were several years later than 
the Oriental Limited cars.
 
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
