N-scale Varnish pages Updated

I have revised the MT Pullman pages to include some dispositions, thanks to me now having access to the book THE COMPLETE ROSTER OF HEAVYWEIGHT PULLMAN CARS, with a number of cars now having more disposition information than before, especially so for cars that were placed in maintenance of way service.

The Pullman Plan 3410 has been further revised to include Plan 2410H and 2410I Plan 12 Section - 1 Drawing Room cars which were the first series of cars that were equipped with pediment ends, like that found on the MT model, while having a window arrangement like the Plan 3410.  It was this series of cars that Pullman used as the "pattern" for the 3410 cars, with the biggest differences being that the cars themselves were approximately 1 foot shorter and the splice plates on the letterboard and lower side panels having a slightly different placement.  For most modelers the MT 12 - 1 would be a reasonable stand-in for modeling these cars.

This link, to the Plan 3410 page, will lead you to the other Pullman roster pages that are on the site...

I have also updated the B&O, CB&Q, CRIP, IC, MKT, MP, NYC and PRR pages of the User's Guide, which now has the Plan 2410H sleepers listed as well as cars cnverted to coaches by these roads, where possible.  The link below will take you to the User's Guide homepage...

Thanks mate ! ;)
Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!
