I have been told Pendulum Cars did not ride well with other equipment either 
lwt. or hwt. thats why it was connected to one particular gas-electric .  
Painted to match the car.   AT&SF and GN also each had one Pendulum.    
Somebody made a brass one years ago, I remember seeing it in a Walthers mid 
80's catalog, also American Beauty had one (GN) back in the 50's.

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.
