Bob, Dan, Bob, Jamie!
When I've had a few minutes each night, I've been going through many of
my old slide trays looking for some shots I made of a UP business train
that was parked our Unioin Station--dated the last few days of the MP
being a independent railroad. I finally found them last night and will
scan what I find useful in the next day or two.
They will not be detailed shots but show the appliances as seen from a
distance.

Dan,
Thank you for sharing these photos. Your captions are most helpful.

I have uploaded a set of photos and diagrams of the underbody details
for the 1949 Pullman Standard lounge/observation car Washington. This
car was part of a complete new train built by Pullman Standard for
the B&O. The observation car Washington is now located in the B&O
Museum in Baltimore.
The photos and diagrams are located in a Photos folder entitled:
B&O PASS CAR UNDERBODY DETAILS
One of the exhibits includes some measurements not typically
available: The height of each underbody component, measured from the
bottom of the car side. Also included in the table is the depth of
each underbody component.
Finally, I have included a general diagram of the underbody
arrangement for several of the Columbian train set cars. This
diagram, which also includes some useful measurements, was created by
another S-scaler, Bill Oertly.
Hope this information will be useful to those detailing passenger
cars. Let me know if you have any questions.
