Re: D&RG 470 Progress photos

Bill,
You are right there are very few narrow gauge Pullman cars in the Colorado museum collections.* You are already into new ground with all the steel going
into the car body. Those diagonal braces inside the back walls are just one example. And wait till you start on the trucks!

I trust you have been to the Pullman Library at Illinois Railway Museum for plans?

They should be a good help.

*the only other one I know of is the body of Tourist Sleeper 465, ren C&NW 6, ren DB & W 20, ren WU 298, ren D&RGW 0250. The body is now a Tool Car on ties at the CRRM. That Western Union wire train is interesting as several of the cars still exist.
