There are a couple of photos of BA-10C's in Bulletin 42 - Exposition Flyer -
on pages 67 and 84. In Mike Spoor's Color Guide there is a good photo on
page 119 of a BA-10C converted to carry wheel sets.
I note in Bill Glick's Passenger Car Roster book that #1500 was the only
BA-10, and it had been renumbered in 1963 from #1913 - an MB-18 mail baggage
car, and that #1503 was the only BA-10B (ex #1922 - MB-20). Contact me off
list if you want all the numbers and renumbers.
