Hello John, Bryan and All -
Check out BURLINGTON BULLETIN No. 17 for a full history of business/office cars on
the CB&Q et al.  This includes photos of both sides of the "Burlington" along with a floor

It is my understanding that Kato used "Burlington" as the prototype for their model. From my research, it appears to be fairly accurate. The only major issue that I see is that the prototype did not have a herald on the rear platform like the model does. The car was built by Budd.

I have a Kato model acquired a few years ago of a stainless steel CB&Q business car named "Burlington."   How accurate is this model?   I looked at photos of a Shoreham Shops brass model, and the Kato model looks pretty good.   Where did the prototype come from?   Was it built by Q shops?
