One thing that I should add to this. Looking at the Walther's website,
the diner is per Pullman plan 7020-A.

Subject: [CBQ] Walthers Standard Pullman Built Diner
I see from the latest Walthers sales catalog that they have
their
"Pullman-Built Heavyweight 36-Seat Diner" lettered for CB&Q on
sale for
half price. Seems like a great deal if the car is an accurate
model of
a CB&Q car. Obviously, accurate is a subjective term, but what
does
anyone know of the similarity of this model to any CB&Q cars? I
have a
couple of the Branchline Pullman cars that do have Q prototypes,
but
none of the Walthers heavyweight cars, which past discussions
within
this group have indicated are not quite up to the quality of the
Branchline cars (among other things, I believe the Walthers
windows were
said to be quite thick). If anyone has both makes of cars, how
do they
compare, and is the paint color compatible or do they look odd
sitting
side by side?
Thanks,
Scott Myers
