Duncan...I think you are right about the rear ender..I think Archie knows about 
it.

I had heard that the collision happened as it pulled off the K&W onto the 
K-line. Can't remember which train collided with it, but my impression was that 
it was rear-ended.

Duncan...WAs the collsion involving the 3537 the one with the Rock Island train 
at the crossing east of C ville in the middle of the night...One of those 
things that just shouldn't happen..Obviously the whole Q crew went to sleep. 
That job always ran at night IIRC...Never knew why.

I think the last time Jim and I rode 93-94 was about November 1956...I'd be 
pretty sure the car was still in that service then.

Pete,
Appreciate the offer! I've got a few photos from BRHS calendars, Zephyrs and 
Bill Glick's books. More would always be great. I believe 3537 made the move 
from the Villisca branch to the K&W in the late fifties and brought up the rear 
of the mixed train running from Keokuk to Centreville until it was involved in 
a collision in 1963 and then was scrapped. I'm modeling the early sixties so 
want to include this distinctive car on my mixed.

Duncan: The 3537 ran on the Villisca-Corning (Tarkio Valley) branch for many 
years...Jim Christen and I rode it several times in the 1950's...I don't think 
it made it all the way to the end of through service (September 1958) on that 
line since Jim and Charlie Able made an end of the line trip down from Villisca 
to Corning in August of 58 and Jim's photos show a converted motorcar as the 
waycar at that time.

If I can be of help with anything regarding the 3537 I'll be glad to help...I'm 
not a modeler nor do I have any interest in same, but I might be able to come 
up with an "in use" photo or two

Scott,
It's the branchline combine, 3537, which I've posted about before that I'm 
considering modeling. I have two NKP kits, and certainly plan to obtain several 
others eventually. It appears, having blown Bill Glick's wonderful drawing up 
to full-size for HO that the Branchline single-window coach is a bit short (at 
about 78 feet). Does anyone know if the Walthers' coach is 80 feet and how 
easily it might come apart?

Duncan,

Depending on what cars you want to model, I would suggest checking out the 
available CB&Q cars from NKP Products at their website. As I recall, he has 
kits for at least a dozen CB&Q heavyweight cars. I suppose some of these might 
also serve as a starting point for kitbashing as well.

Subject: [CBQ] heavyweight kit-bashing

Hi group.
In my future there's some kitbashing of heavyweight cars that will have to 
happen and I wondered if anyone has had a go at using either a Walthers or 
Branchline coach as a starting point. I suspect I'll be using ends, roof and 
floor pretty much as is -- although I'll need to remove the side doors from the 
vestibule leaving the vestibule itself open to view (so the construction of the 
vestibule is a consideration). The sides I imagine I'll need to build from 
scratch for the most part. If anyone is willing to share experiences, I'd 
appreciate it (or recommend another starting point).
