Rick,
The three cars are supposed to be:
Silver Beam (1939-DZ)
Silver Streak (1936-DZ)
Silver Lining (1936-DZ)
Unless changed, they would be lettered for the Texas Zephyr. I know
that Phil and I would be very interested in seeing recent pictures of
the cars if anyone has some (or in your case Rick, if you could get some).
Thanks
scott
