locked Re: Passenger car documentation in the SRHA archives
Ike,
The attachement to this letter might be what you’re looking for. It’s
a drawing of the Budd-built dining cars # 3305-3312. I couldn’t find one
for the single ordered #3869.

Subject: [SouthernRailway] Passenger car documentation in the SRHA
archives I
have been scanning documents in the archives on the 1949 order for cars for the
Crescent. Here are three examples that tell their own story. Although I do not
know how many Budd drawings we have, none are on microfilm, I am looking for
drawings lists we can use to start to organize the hard copy drawings. I’m
interested in the Budd material because I am working on a number of different
models and I’d like to locate any that could be useful as TVRM restores and
works on the Southern Budd diner they purchased from Amtrak. We’ll do an article
on the diners in TIES and work on a plan to package drawings for people that may
want to do some models themselves. (Underfloor passenger car equipment layouts
have been the hardest to locate.)
Someone may know if the L&N and the A&WP adopted the Budd
designs?
Ike
