Yep, Bob! Jack up that baggage end a bit. Mustn't have a coupler slip out! L&N on one side and B&O on the other? That's a page out of John Anderson's book to be sure! His thinking was, you can't see both sides at the same time. So, he lettered freight cars for two roads - one on each side. It gave variety without adding more cars. On a passenger angle, you could do an L&N Pan American on one side and a B&O Metropolitan Special on the other, with both trains having similar equipment. Both trains also went to Cincinnati. Even Pullman experimented at times and put two different liveries on the same car. It was probably done to test new paints. But finding which car or cars were done so, would make a great model and be prototypically accurate!
Here is a B&O non-B&O car I built. The Walthers four baggage door combine was unusual, but I found photos showing Wabash had some. Possibly NY Central too, as Walthers had an HO model for a NYC car like that in the 'Favorite Prototype Series' of kits. I lettered it for B&O, but like the office car above, it wears the B&NY report marks and a different car number of my model railroad. On my Baltimore & New York Railway, it was a rider coach on the mail and express train. A'la Wabash, the baggage compartment's doors are double doors that opening from the middle. A great detail, done with a bit of black decal striping. S.Islander
