Tom,
 
The passenger cars are from the Budd pre war coaches the Burlington bought  
in a couple of orders, 1938 and 1940, not 100% sure of the dates. They are not  
the later "standard" of 85'. They are 80" long cars. And yes all of those pre 
 war Budd cars didn't have the full skirting that showed up with the 1947 
Budd  Twin Zephyr cars. The heavyweight car in the consist is one of nine 
heavyweights  rebuilt by the Burlington, they were known as SSS Cars (Simulated 
Stainless  Steel). Originally painted in shadow stripping they were equipped 
with 
roller  bearings, tight lock couplers, and thermal pane windows. 
 
For modeling these cars in HO scale,  brass is the only answer.  For the BRHS 
many years ago Oriental Limited produced for sale by the society  the SSS 
coaches. You can still find them today although pretty rare and  they do fetch 
a 
pretty good price. I traded one extra SSS car that I had for a  Shoreham Shops 
streamlined Q RPO. 
 
The pre way Budds have been produced by Oriental Limited and Shoreham  Shops. 
Although they are not 100% prototype.  
 
Although used in Zephyr service the SSS cars found their use to be more on  
the secondary trains rather than the DZ, CZ, or TCZ. Although the pre war 
Budds,  were used on all the Zephyrs trains as traffic required.
