[CBQ] Re: California Zephyr 6/5 sleepers In "N" Scale

["domelinerdude" <domelinerdude@yahoo.com>]

Jim,

The 1953 CZ version of the 6 Double Bedroom, 5 Compartment sleeper (i.e. Sivler 
Dove, Silver Quail, etc.)was produced by Oriental in brass approximately 20 
years ago as part of a line CZ.

The 1956 DZ version of the 6-5 sleeper was then produced by Railway Classics in 
the Denver Zephyr boxed sets.

Sometimes you will see the cars show up on ebay.

You should be able to find one if you keep watching.
