Hi;

If you can be more specific about what you are looking for, it should be 
pretty easy to direct you toward the answers. 

Here's a start...

The best references for heavyweight Q passenger equipment remains Bill 
Glick's two books, which I believe are still available directly from 
him.  His books do not contain many photos, but there is a thorough 
roster and drawings/diagrams of most equipment.    (You'll probably want 
both as one is the roster with numbering history, and the other is the 
drawings)

Some info about combines converted from PMC's (Passenger Motor Cars, 
gas-electrics or "doodlebugs" as some call them) may be found in several 
sources, including The Burlington in Transition, a set of Passenger Car 
Diagrams published previously by Railway Production Classics.  A roster 
of these has been assembled by Rupert Gamlen and is available on the 
BRHS web site.

Waycar combines are covered in the long out of print Waycars of the CB&Q 
book by Holbrook & Lorenz, and will presumably also be discussed in the 
upcoming Waycars book by Milepost 206 Publishing.

Photos of various equipment have been published in several books as well 
as issues of the Burlington Bulletin and Zephyr.  Rupert Gamlen's index 
on the BRHS web site might provide you with specific issue references.

Kind regards, Rob Adams
