Earl, I have seen photos of the Pullman PS-1 in that same NC&STL paint scheme. But I don't think the Kalso PS-1 kits, if still made, would be a good choice for a convention car. I've got a Kalso kit and the Bob McCarthy decals you had him made set aside for a NC&StL PS-1. But I'm buying a convention car anyway because I appreciate the effort to bring the convention to Chattanooga. Just as an S scale aside, before the Supply House decals I'd bought some Nickel Plate dry transfers from CDS to do a NC&StL gon. The older Nickel Plate reporting marks being NYC&StL. Lose the L.
