[CBQ] Solarium Observation

[John Manion <railbass@comcast.net>]

I realize that model companies will letter models for roads which did not
use them to sell more products, but I am hoping that a Walthers
solarium-observation I bought a couple of weeks ago might have a CB&Q or
related prototype.   I have gone through BB #42 *Exposition Flyer *and my
four Bill Glick passenger car books, and even Tom Patton's *Pullman Project,
*being unable to find one.   The model is an 80' Pullman
solarium-observation (plan 3975C), but the big mark against it is that it
has three large solarium room windows on each side, which none of the Q
solariums had, having only two.   The model is lettered for the Q with
nothing else on it.    It is on the Walthers website with item no.
932-10453, if you would like to see a photo of it.   I am hoping that if Q
did not have this car, maybe NP or GN did to run with Q trains.
