Reply to "CB&Q and Fort Worth & Denver passenger cars"

I just finished these cars before my five busiest months on the ranch begins, and I won't have time to do anything in the "car shop".

FW&D 33 and 104 were two of the eighteen baggage/express cars on their roster. The Texas Zephyr 1 and 2, and trains 7 and 8 were very "head end heavy". 33 is a K-Line car while 104 is a Lionel.

Heavyweight coach 204 was a regular on trains 7 and 8, and often on the Zephyr during peak travel periods. It is an Atlas (MTH) car offered as a special run from Berwyn's Trains. It will be a companion coach to this car bringing up the markers:

I still have a Lionel observation car to redo into Silver Hours which ran on the Sam Houston Zephyr between Fort Worth and Houston. That will make my fourth obs to match my Zephyr collection. I want to finish it and take photos of all four before I jettison Silver Bowl (C&S) since it did not turn out too well.
