Charlie:

I would guess that the Minden car also has some outside numbers visible under several coats of paint, and further, that the only reason it's numbered 9 is because that was the center number in its 14900 series Q number and the Pioneer Village painter simply repainted that number using the old one as a guide.  Next time I'm back that way I'll stop and try to check; last visit I inquired about records of when and how various pieces were acquired, but nobody seemed to know if any such existed, and since Harold Warp, the guy who started the park with his eclectic collection, is long dead we may never know just where he found the NM-1.

The car likely has some car numbers hidden under interior paint or perhaps stamped in window sash or other body parts.

There were only 11 of the NM-1 15’ cars:

1899 Plattsmouth

CB&Q  300-303                                                 14900-14903      

B&MR  5                                                              14904

                48                                                           14905

                134-137                                                14906-14907

                141-143                                                14908-14910

And three groups of NM-2 20’ totaling 49 cars:

1903 Aurora

CB&Q    304-314                14925-14935       (note 315 vacant at time of re#)

                316-323                14936-14943

1906 Aurora

                                                14944-14950

1907 Aurora

                                                14953-14973

Note that #300 is a legit number for a NM-1 so might be the correct number.  Joe Douda’s roster information doesn’t carry any disposition for the

300/14900.  The 14901 and 14908 are shown as being retired in 1914, the 14905 in 1915, and the 14903 as scrapped at Omaha in 1931.

The J. Harold Geissel drawing is re-sent as a jpg attachment for those using other than windows that cannot open windat files.

I will be on the watch for the Geissel pencil sketch of the car and will post that when I find it.
