Bob Delbridge posted:Mike, The RF&P 10-6 sleeper probably did exist, but during the course of researching the Silver Meteor I only concentrated on those cars, of which the PRR Budd 52-seat coach and Budd 10-6 sleeper, and the RF&P 52-seat coach, were built at the same time.
It's most likely not the same configuration as the Budd 10-6. I REALLY wanted the Pullman 10-6 so I could have the SAL PORTSMOUTH, but it would have required a different extrusion for the body.
RF&P did order 10-6 sleepers for the PRR/RF&P/SAL service. The RF&P owned the Essex, Chesterfield and Lancaster, all built by Pullman in 1949.
Generally, lightweight cars with silver letter boards were for SAL service, and purple letter boards for ACL/FEC service.
Might be too late to add these, especially since they are Pullman and not Budd.
