Don, Ken, Leo and Group - I've attached two images showing motor car trailers being used as passenger cars on branch line mixed trains:

CB&Q 3650  No Other Information

CB&Q 3665  Grand Island, NE  April 1961

Looks like a rough way to travel.  Zephyrs they were not..... Best Regards - Louis

Don,

Looking at pictures I think most locals were a Ten Wheeler usually a K-4, a Baggage-Mail (60’), and a coach varying from an old wood car to a 6100 steel car.
There are also the passenger-waycars while I am not as sure of their use I think they were used on freights where you didn’t have enough passenger traffic.
In the Bulletin on the Burlington and Western there was a shot using an Atlantic in the ’50’s and in the Berringer collection there is a shot in Alliance with a Pacific on the front with a larger Bagg-mail.
.
I buillt a local using a K-2, a 40’ Bagg-Mail (modified Labelle) and a 50’ coach (Labelle). that looks nice. The cars I modeled after were ex Keokuk and Western cars.

Check Glick’s passenger car books for car ideas.
