John:

I know they were produced for the Q in 1946, shortly after the "Silver Dome" was converted.  Passenger department representatives handed them out to anyone they thought might do the company some good.  I got mine in the early 1960s from Mark Modglin, then the general passenger agent here in Denver.

Does anyone on the list know the history of the cast metal
Burlington paperweights that show up on Ebay from time to time. It is
a casting of 'Silver Dome' on a metal base that says 'The First Vista
Dome Car 1945'. Was this a promo done by the Burlington itself, or is
this a commercial casting done by some paperweight company years
later? The car itself is about 'N' Scale and the base is about 7"
long. Just curious! Thanks,

John Olson
