That will depend on WHICH 12-1 amd 10-1-2 (I hope it isn't a 10-2-
1). And which parlor, and which baggage. Of course, the baggage
will be a good candidate for the NKP baggage car sides. But, without
knowing if the other cars are 3400s or 2400s, and then if they have
A/C - it's hard to determine if one may be used as a good core. The
key is finding a non-A/C core and then having the A/C ducts available
to build any version roof you may need (or not need, some diner roofs
don't have the A/C ducts, the A/C was all internal).
