Re: [CBQ] C&S Pay Car

[Kenneth Fleming <kf5632@gmail.com>]

The C.B.& Q. did have a pay car similar to this.  I saw it in the Aurora coach yard many, many years ago.  My father, who hired out on the Q in 1914, confirmed that indeed it was a pay car, when I saw it and asked about it.

This old Ambroid One of 5000 model replicates, as I recall, a Union Pacific pay car of the 1860s.  The fact that this model is lettered for the C&S is pure modeler's license.  The C&S never had anything even vaguely similar and normally used a broad gauge coach as a pay car, though there were instances were an official or business car was used.  On the narrow gauge lines one of the two larger official cars was always used for distributing payrolls each month.
 
Happy New Year!

Hi all: Saw this on EBay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HO-Scale-Vintage-Payroll-Car-Custom-Built-Wood-Ambroid-Scratch-Pay-Train-Car-/200872572222?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item2ec4f0353e

Not sure if the C&S had a car but what I found interesting was the outside
walkway on one side. Any ideas as to why and what the interior was like?

Thanks!
