I very much doubt that there were drawings prepared for the car.   Very few drawings of anything of the vintage of the car they started with survived and I am sure that if there was anything like that floating around we would have seen it in one of Bill Glick’s books.    I vaguely remember seeing a photo of the car the shops started with but am not even sure of that.   My guess is that the shops had a photo of a similar old-timey RPO and made modifications to make the car look like it.    Note the funky trucks….the CB&Q went in for such designs and it is great that at least one example survived.  The No.7 / No.2 wood beam trucks were more recent (1880???) design for passenger cars /waycars.
