The M&St.L cars are shown as such on pages 160-1 of David Randall's Passenger Car Library, Vol. 3. The dispositions need to be researched. Tom has an order to Kaslo for one, I have an order for two (for RI) placed with Kaslo, you know where that is? DJE

Seeing those BUDD passenger cars inspires me to research the order number for the six cars the M&StL purchased from BUDD. The six were almost identical to the coaches the NYC ordered for its "New England States". The M&StL received its cars in 1948 for $100,000 a copy. Dave Engle sold me what can become the basis of an M&StL gas electric. All I need is the coach to hook behind the GE car, and I'll have an M&StL passenger train. Maybe I can even uncover a KINSMAN vestibuled baggage car somewhere, build it, paint it Pullman-green, and letter it for the M&StL. Most of the M&StL's baggage/express cars were wood with steell underframes and remained in the standard green paint as long as they operated. Anyway, it's fun to dream.

There are four photos in the Photo section under "NYC BUDD Cars". The pics are just a tad dark, but I hope our east coast BUDD fans can see enough. > > Now if only The Central had learned to paint the underbodies silver instead of black. But, then they would have had to clean/wash the cars instead of having them collect enough dirt/soot on the roofs to make the roofs appear to be painted black to match the underbody. > > Bob Hogan > Bob, The NYC Budds look terrific! What paint finish is used to get that stainless steel gleam? Bud Rindfleisch ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links
