Now that my interest in the SSS chair cars has been ignited. One could
conceivably take the upcoming Branchline Trains coach (22 windows, spacing a
bit off) and the roof from a Havelock baggage car kit and get pretty close.
Dave, are the roofs sold separately by any chance?

There is also the Rivarossi bagg-mail which is close to the Q 1900's, also
there were 8100 series 40' box express cars converted from XM-32 boxcars.
Also if you look at the consist sheets in the last couple Zephyrs there are
head end cars from foreign roads that get into some trains.
