Loren:
I just picked up one of the Branchline 12-1 sleepers (the Ready to
Run version). It is a nice model. I have one question. A friend
has the new Walthers 12-1 Pullman, and its interior seems to have
bulkheads or walls between each set of seats that go all the way to
the ceiling. From some of the prototype photos it seems that is
correct. The Branchline interior does not have this. Do you know
which is correct? Not a big deal, and I could add the bulkhead
walls fairly easily, but since the Branchline car is so accurate, I
am curious whether the Walthers interior is wrong or the Branchline
is.
Any ideas?
