Here are a couple of links to troop car conversions for a variety of roads.

Some of the links do not work.

This link has some interesting data on the troop sleeper/kitchen cars.

I’ve seen that photo like that on eBay on a number of occasions and I never noticed the unplated windows. You see what you expect to see!

Thanks

Rupert,

 

Attached is a photo of one of the troop kitchen cars, no. 8693 in regular service before the windows were plated over. Note that it has the Allied Cushion trucks at this time. Unfortunately, I don’t have a date or location for the photo. In the early 1960s, the Q ran at least one fan trip with 5632 and several of the troop kitchen cars that were used to haul bicycles for passenger so that they could bike in White Pines State Park. I think the date was June 23, 1962.
