Pullman Question

[NW Mailing List]

Bill,

 

While I can’t speak specifically to the cars you mentioned, the book The Cars of Pullman by Joe Welsh, Bill Howes & Kevin J. Holland has a photo on page 92, of the 12-1 car “Cuttyhunk” parked at Orlando, Florida in June 1955, painted in N&W Tuscan red with [deluxe] gold lettering and stripes (top and bottom of the car side) along with “Pullman” in smaller lettering near the boarding/step doors. It says the car was withdrawn from Pullman service in 1962. 

 

The book is by Voyager Press (ISBN: 978-0-7603-3587-1) copyright 2010.

Howdy Friends

French's The Norfolk & Western Railway book lists that some 12-1 named Pullmans, still Pullman owned, were painted in Pullman colors.  Those were Chilhowie, Galax, and Lowry.   

Were these three painted red?  

If so, did they have any striping. 


FYI....  Golden Gate is doing some O scale 12-1 cars in N&W paint.

Thanks, and take care
Bill
