1903.  Archie

  Subject: [CBQ] CB&Q Pullman Sleepers


  Has anyone had experience with buying one of the Branchline cars with
  Pullman in the letterboard and removing the car name and replacing it
  with one of the appropriate names for CB&Q leased cars? Some lettering
  is easier than others to remove, and I wonder how easy the Branchline
  lettering is to remove.

  The discussion last week on Pullman sleepers led me to do some research
  over the weekend on the lettering of various Pullman sleepers.
  Interestingly, there seems to be some variation in the letterboard. As
  discussed previously, the blank letterboard was for cars purchased from
  Pullman post-1949. Here is what I found in the way of photos for cars
  painted in Pullman Green (as opposed to silver):

  8-1-2 John Forbes w/Pullman in letterboard Everywhere
  West p28
  8-1-2 John Forbes w/Pullman in letterboard BB#42
  Exposition Flyer p246
  12-1 Nachita CB&Q #613 w/blank letterboard CB&Q Color
  Guide p28
  12-1 Princeton University w/blank letterboard CB&Q Color
  Guide p28
  10-1-1 Rice Lake w/Pullman in letterboard Branchline
  Website
  8-5 Clover Basin w/Pullman in letterboard BB#42
  Exposition Flyer p244
  2-2-2-1 Lounge-Buffet Minnesota Club w/Blackhawk in letterboard &
  small Pullman on both ends of the letterboard Burlington Route
  Passenger Trains Vol I p26 

  Does anyone know if other leased cars had the name of the train in the
  letterboard like this Minnesota Club car did at the time the photo was
  taken? I'm assuming from the photos I have found that Pullman in the
  letterboard was more typical. I am anxious to see Bill Glick's new book
  (Burlington Passenger Car Photo Album) and its photos for Pullmans.

  Thanks,

  Scott Myers
