You can not call the Q gas-electric's a RDC, that is a specific type of car
built by Budd and the Q did not have any.
Below are the baggage-coach gas-electrics the Q had and disposition.

If you want to do one of these cars find the photos, do the work and good

Oh by the way. if you need to haul mail on the run of one of these cars I have
seen photos of them hauling a baggage-mail car.
