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.

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.
