Hol,

As I mentioned in my note to you, I didn't read the full title of the photo 
before I sent this message.

Thanks again for sending it.

  Wow! Thanks, Hol. I have seen photos of this car on the GN, but only distant 
views. Any idea where, when or what train this was on?

  Thanks so much for sending it.

    Ken:
     
    Knowing you're a GN fan, here's a shot of the Silver Pendulum in service on 
the GN.

    I recently acquired a copy of Al Holck's Burlington Route Color Pictorial 
Volume 1 and noticed a photo of Burlington's pendulum car on page 46. I don't 
recall ever having seen a color photo of the car before, but in black and white 
photos it always looked pretty silver to me. This photo, and the caption, seem 
to indicate that it was "silver-gray." Does anyone have any suggestions as to 
what an appropriate paint might be for a model of this car?

    Thanks for any help you can provide.
