Yes. One became a 1st class coach the other a business car on NdeM, IIRC.
Chair #401 (rebuilt to parlor in the 1920's) also went to Mexico in '42 and became a lst class coach.
Parlor Car "Ouray" was dismantled in '37 or '38.

That's all the cars that were around in the late 1920's. Cars Silverton(Salida), Durango[2nd](Gunnison), Camp Bird(Chama), Pagosa(Durango [3rd]) 403(Alamosa[2nd? not 1st, anyway]) (all got renamed in '37) became the cars used on the new Shavano & San Juan train sets. IIRC 401 was also sometimes used on Shavano but I may be thinking of 315/316 in an earlier incarnation. It was in Salida in the late 1930's anyway.

hank, still a block from my books & notes.
