Eric,
The best collection of doodlebug drawings I've found is contained in
Corbin's book, The Burlington in Transition. This book was reprinted
recently, and it's available from Mile Post 206 Publishing Co. P. O. Box
543, West Burlington, IA 52655-0543 at a cost of $65 plus shipping. The
reprint is on coated paper and the print quality is superior to the original
edition. I picked up a copy at the hobby shop in Burlington, and I plan to
use the drawings to scratchbuild a couple of motors for my Burlington to
Galesburg and Burlington to Quincy locals. The chapter on doodlebugs
includes a complete roster, many photographs, and eleven drawings.

There is a spreadsheet on the BRHS website at
http://www.burlingtonroute.com/docs/rosters/motorcars.html showing the
numbering and
re-numbering of the motor cars. You'll see that cars were grouped by their
various designs (e.g. passenger/baggage, baggage/mail
cars, etc.) with three digit numbers.
In 1930, all the motor cars were renumbered by adding a "9" in front of the
number, and subsequent purchases had 9xxx numbers. Some
cars were also rebuilt resulting in other number changes.
