Grant,
I stand gladly corrected. I wasn't around in 1945, and wouldn't have a clue of the car name. I also don't have the book handy to cross-reference.
If you have the book, find the picture, and have any more insight, I'm interested in knowing more.
Two of the originals reside at my house. My grandfather framed them with new wood since the original material did not exist. My father has the best one with original wood frame. The neatest thing is seeing that the patterns were etched by hand. You could just about get out the micrometer to compare how closely each one was made to be similar.
Someday I'll get these reproduced for a narrow gauge passenger car restoration.
On a similar subject, the guys at Knott's discovered original etched clerestory glasses for the Edna car and reproduced/installed them. It adds a very nice touch.
My father went to college in Pueblo and tells me he went to see narrow gauge locomotives headed for scrap. He tells me he could have had anything off these locomotives, but never did.
