Sorry about the attachment not opening. I will try pasting it into the body of the email. I hope this works!
The caption was:
“Heavyweight diner-lounge 326 in the coach yard at Aurora, Illinois. (July, 1965) – (326 was built by Pullman in 1913, as full diner 168, and rebuilt to a diner-lounge in 1934).”
The link (no longer working) as of Octoboer 2010 was: http://www.jerryapp.com/arcv_r2.html <http://www.jerryapp.com/arcv_r2.html>

This is my first time responding to anything. I focus on Q passenger – primarily on the Chicago-Twin Cities line.
I am interested in the diner lounges 307-308 and 325-326. They were made from full diners. And it looks as though the vestibules were added. Can someone comment how these cars were used and why they were constructed?
I share a photo of one (326). I got the photo from a website that is now not active.

I am beginning to build the NKP kit for the above car, which I remember well on the AK-SAR-BEN, as seen one morning at the CUS throat in the sixties as the train was being withdrawn to the yard for servicing. It was attention-getting with its wide windows and Venetian blinds, all down but open.
The kit is missing a center sill and there is no description, diagram, nor dimensions on which to scratch build one. I am presuming that the sill was apparently a flat girder or channel, and that the brake levers, etc. were mounted on the bottom surface (like freight cars). Am I correct? Does anyone know?
I have built a number of NKP HW car kits, and the resulting models can be stunning- and this is no exception.
I have also contacted Tom Shneid about this question.
Thank you-
