I went looking thur some of the web and found this out.  The Walthers 
8-1-2 sleeper is based on the pullman plan 3947-A (242 cars built).  
Looking at the pullman records from pullmanproject.com. CB&Q, C&S, 
and FW&D did not have any of this type.   I am still try to figure 
out all of the CB&Q pullman cars were but the seem to be 8-5, 12-1 
and 10-1-1 (I know C&S and FW&D had all three types)
