The Cal Zephyr (unlike some of the other CB&Q trains) had a remarkably
stable consist over its cb&q lifetime .... Just a few sleeper changes
- conversions to coaches I believe of the 16 sections ....
When I compare the initial consists (listed on the cal zephyr museum
website) with late 60's consists listed elsewhere they are very
similar. I do have photos showing the addition of havelock baggage
cars on the headend in addtion or substituted for the original CZ
baggage cares but i think if you just modeled the original consist you
coulr get away with that for a late 60's version as well.
I believe there were differences in the skirting (some cars were
de-skirted ?) and intercar connections - full width originally - and I
believe the domes had wipers on the ends originally : check all these
details though since these are just my recollections. I dont have
dates when these changes were made so perhaps someone else does ....
