Lowell Smith "RailSmith" Passenger Cars coming (former Walthers tooling)

[thomasjmdavis]

What were the four Walthers pass car types produced? No diner or duplex that I know of.

10-6 PS plan 4140 (smoothside) and 4140A (fluted).
Coach- 64 seat NYC prototype produced in both smoothside and fluted (I think this is prototypically correct, some of the fluted cars had their fluting removed in later years).
Baggage- 70' (inside dim) full baggage from Chicago Great Western prototype. Produced smoothside (prototypically accurate), 1/2 fluted (to go with C&O cars) and fluted. AFAIK, the  1/2 fluted and full fluted are foobies.

All the cars were produced in both accurate and foobie paint schemes. 

I don't recall there being a 4th body style, but memory is not my strong suit nowadays.

Thanks a lot for the explanation. 

Did those 64 seat coaches go from NYC to Amtrak?

An if they did, which car numbers (or names) would be prototypical for Amtrak?

There is a lot of information on these cars at the Canada Southern website.  See the lightweight roster here.

You will need to scroll down about 1/3 of the webpage to get to the 64 seat coach, but it does list many of those that went to Amtrak and also some that were converted to 108 seat commuter coaches.  I don't have a list of which cars had fluting removed, but a note on the CS page does note that some cars had fluting removed- just not which ones.
