Reply to "Why No One Makes Pullman Cars"

Golden Gate depot did a set of heavyweight cars in Pullman Green and TTG as well as the Pullman Standard smooth side streamlined cars that were also TTG.

As mentioned previously in this thread, outside of cars with sleeping compartments and dining cars the Pullman name in the letterboard is fantasy.  Coaches and head end cars would have been lettered for the railroad.  Of course there is the REA equipment for universal head end cars.  However, I can see the appeal of a "generic" set of cars that one could run with any railroads locomotives.

Well I try to be prototypical but occasionally make compromises. I wanted to build a nice mail-express consist and went with a GGD Pullman baggage car to head the consist. The Remaining consist includes GGD, Atlas cars(and more Atlas and MTH cars available). This Pullman allow me to put ANY road name power on the point. 😜276E26C4-F60A-4A60-AABD-E11E3D73D411After a choice of roads, I can add a road specific “storage mail” box car and a 53’ express Reefer and have a Really Cool mail-express consist. That Pullman car Really adds to the diversity of the consist.
