RE: [CBQ] Burlington Passenger Car Lettering

["Charlie Vlk" <cvlk@comcast.net>]

Bob-

Do any of the drawings actually show the letter characters themselves or do
the L&P drawings make reference to other drawings that show the size and
shape of the alphas and numerics?   

I may have to make a visit after Thanksgiving Week to get copies of relevant
drawings..

Some time back the remark was made that CB&Q Passenger car lettering 
was difficult to come by. That is no longer the case - nor has it 
been for some time.

There are (general arrangement of lettering) drawings for the 
Standard Steel-built cars as well as (Lettering and Side Elevation) 
drawings for the Pullman built cars (of 1922 - Diner, 
Coach/Chair, and the combine). Lettering includes interior & 
exterior - including the smallest lettering on the trucks.

Dave - Ted should be getting back to you on your request.

Good luck in creating the body decals - gold leaf "enclosed with a 
1/16" black stripe". Other lettering (weight, cap'y, truck, etc. is 
white lead.

Phil, these are important for the IRM as well, for the CB&Q cars 
there. Esp. the interior signage/lettering.
