Dick, Thanks for the plan number. That is precisely what I needed. Thanks to Google I turned up some pics of the car and of the NYC variant. Looks like the car had a stepped roof for the AC ducting. The model currently has a clerestory roof. Maybe I can get an AM roof from one of his Pullmans to work as a replacement. I'd hate to build that roof with the AC ducting from scratch.
Chris Borgmeyer Re: Models by Miller Diner Posted by: "Richard Karnes" [email protected] rnk2202 Tue Jan 4, 2011 5:33 pm (PST) Rollie is correct but confusing. The subject diner's prototype is Pullman-Standard Plan 3952 (built in 1924-25). Nineteen of these were built and variously assigned to general service (Pullman pool), ACL, and SR. NYC had similar, but with an extra kitchen window. When Miller was in business, I had an O scale buddy who got Miller to make him a special NYC diner kit with the extra window. Pullman Plan 4004 (built in 1931-32) is similar but not identical to 3952. Major difference is the kitchen service door is not on the kitchen side, but rather is a standard vestibule door across the passenger corridor from the kitchen. There were 17 of these in pool service, later assigned to NH and others. Dick Karnes [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
