Re: [CBQ] Pre-War Streamlined Coaches

Ken,

Looks like I misinterpreted part of your question.  Yes, Oriental Limited 
produced the Silver Dome and the 4700 series flat top coaches.  I owned both 
before I upgraded to the Shoreham Shops cars.

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.
