Jon,
Bill is an excellent source of information on passenger cars, especially from the 1930's. He is also an excellent HO modeler, scratch builds a lot of his cars. Don't know the count, but I am will to bet he has close to 100 passenger cars.
Anyway, if you have any questions, I know Bill would gladly give you all the help and advise you need.
There are other members of the BRHS that are also excellent modeler and historians of 1930's passenger cars. Just ask question on the Yahoo group and I know you will find answers.

Hi Ray,
Thank you for providing me with Bill Glick's email address. I looked up some of his books online after receiving your response, and I think they're exactly what I'm looking for. I'm going to check into the first book of John Strauss' series as well.
I am a modeler, and ultimately I'd like to assemble at least one full consist in HO scale.
Thanks again, and have a great day! Jon ---In CBQ@yahoogroups.com, <tczephyr@...> wrote : Jon,
Examples of 1930's passenger cars can be found in the several books by Bill Glick, you can contact Bill direct at Qglick@.... His books cover heavy weight cars used during that period. His first book, Passenger Cars of the Burlington, has 160 HO scale drawings.
John Strauss has several books that include details as to the types and names of cars used on the Q. His book, Burlington Route Passenger Trains, volume one, might be a good start as it has a good portion covering the 1930's. But his books, there are 3 in the series, also covers the stainless steel cars of the 40's, 50',s and 60's as well.
If you are a modeler, doesn't matter if you do N, HO, O, G or anything else, Bill Glick's books are a MUST. He has done an excellent job of detailing all the cars with some great photos. His detailed drawings is a true art.
