[CBQ] RE: Business Car "Burlington"

[<bdurham260@yahoo.com>]

I have Burlington and Round Up.  I upgraded my Round Up with heavyweight trucks which gives it a little more flavor of its roots.  It makes the car sit a little higher than the normal lightweight.

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?
