>> We are looking for any photographs, sketches and drawings of the car, particularly the interior configuration as it was when in service on the D&RGW <<
I lived in 04432 for three years. No evidence of any changes to the interior other than the missing stove.
Please, please, please DO NOT paint the car
Red! Note the boxcar next to 04432 in Jerry's photo. That's the color of Rio Grande house cars back in the days. I was there .... do not be fooled by the name "boxcar red...." on Rio Grande it was really brown.
