Rick,

 

I think the article Cy is thinking about is "Woolen Wonders" in the Summer 2008 issue of Classic Trains.

Thanks for the info.  It was either that or a replica Kanata blanket for the CP.  Of course the nod will always go to something the Q used first....

YES, They would be used up to early AMTRAK.   The Pullman repro blankets on the market from Schrader and others date back to the 20's for patern design but they were still in use.    PTJ had an article about Pulman blankets a few years ago.   Very interesting dating system.    You will not find a warmer blanket.

I'm adding some railroad stuff to a spare bedroom and I thought it might be nice to have something RR related on the bed (besides Thomas...) I see some replica Pullman blankets, are these what would be found on the Q sleepers, even in the post Pullman era? Thanks Ricky KeilOmaha, NE
