The
Pullman-Standard Cars on the Rio Grande
The
Pullman-Standard cars on the Rio Grande were NOT ex-C&O
cars. They were cars that had originally been ordered by
the C&O, but they were cancelled by that road and the
order was taken over by the D&RGW. Several modifications
to the cars were undertaken by P-S for the D&RGW prior
to their delivery, making them quite different than their
C&O (and B&O, IC, NYC, NKP, ACL, C&NW, SP) cousins.
Notable among these, on the coaches and the sleeping cars
was the positioning of the number plates. On the Rio Grande,
these plates were centered on the car, on the C&O cars,
they were centered over the non-vestibule wheel well. This
difference makes the Walthers 52 seat coach and the Lambert
coach and 10-6 cars visually incorrect for the D&RGW.
Note that two of the cars (EAGLE CANON and ROYAL GORGE)
were bought from another order entirely, one that a C&O
associated road, the Pere Marquette had issued to Pullman-Standard.
These cars look differently with their higher windows, and
had a different electrical system. See The
Prospector articles on these cars.
(*note
- the last column, which contains modeling suggestions for
HO contains only one suggestion due to space limitations.
Palace Car Company made all of the lightweight cars in brass
(except the M1 & M2 sets) and they can be found from
time to time. Division Point may be importing them in 2007
in brass.)
