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)
