[CBQ] Budd cars

[Jim's Junction <trains28@bresnan.net>]

     It sure would be nice if someone would offer accurate injection- 
molded 'Q' pre-war Budd cars in HO. Kato made a couple of N-Scale pre- 
war sets about 10 years ago and just recently offered the pre-war  
Silver Streak Zephyr using these cars- thanks to Charlie Vlk. Cars of  
interest would be the pre-war Coaches, Diners, Baggage and especially  
those pre-war Diner-Lounge-Observations (Silver Streak & General  
Pershing Zephyrs). The Texas Zephyr also had a variant of these cars.  
The 'Q' got a lot of use out of those Diner-Lounge-Observation cars,  
right up to the BN merger, by utilizing them on the Kansas City  
Zephyr, Twin Cities Zephyrs,  Ak Sar Ben Zephyr, American Royal  
Zephyr- and a lot of secondary trains. By fitting that ugly diaphram  
on the Observation-end- they were used as mid-train (or first in  
consist- running backwards) cars as well. Are you listening Charlie  
Vlk????
