Glen and Listers:
I have received the following information from two members of the Passenger
Car List.
>From Tom Madden:
> There was a lot of seasonal car swapping between the NP and the IC during
> the late '50s and '60s, complete with repaintings. The cars in question
> would be the six plan 4168A 11 bedroom cars Pullman delivered to the IC in
> 1953: Baton Rouge, Belleville, Benton, Bloomington, Brookhaven and Bradley.
> The car construction records for these cars haven't been microfilmed yet, so
> I can't get info from that source. Pullman doesn't seem to have documented
> post-1959 repaints on the CCRs anyway. But Pullman's Descriptive List update
> sheet, DL No. 5 - 66, issued May 31 1966, reports that "Benton" was
> repainted NP Exterior Color. (The DL updates reported changes since the
> previous update, and that was the fifth one issued in 1966.)
>
> There may have been others, but that's the only post-1961 DL sheet I have.
>From Tim O'Connor:
> Champ makes HO decal set PH-137 for IC 11-dbr cars painted in
> Northern Pacific Loewy colors.
Additional replies will be forwarded.
