(Chicago) Great Western- Fox needs to make one of these!

That is a link to a photo auction, not a model.

I had no idea other roads had the early Hiawatha cars.

Interesting.

First of all, Chicago Great Western.  Apparently in 1949, the president wanted to de-emphasize the 'Chicago' part, but that doesn't make it right.  :)

The CGW bought two former MILW cars in 1961 for trains 13/14 between Minneapolis and Omaha.

Matt would have to add the ribbing like Bill did and there is also a small extension at the bottom of the sides that's sort of a modeler's choice it's so slight.

But perhaps the biggest tooling cost would be making the car with the vestibule doors open.  ;)

And if he would add the ribbing and skirting to the bunk room coach, he could do the remaining three Pacific Great Eastern cars: 620, 622 & 623!
