Re: [CBQ] Pendulum Car

The Silver Pendulum ran on trains  27 and 26  (Omaha- Kansas "City for many 
years during the 1950's


Also IIRC it finished it's "career' running between Lincoln and St. Joe, MO 
behind Motorcar 9772 as trains  89-42 and 90-41


I think there is a photo of it in one of Al Hoclk's Color Pictorial books 
behind the above mentioned motorcar.

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.

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.
