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.

Jerry Williams led the parade of 'scale' size heavyweight five car sets with PULLMAN on the facia.  The set consisted of three passenger cars, an observation car and, as Pullman did not make baggage cars, Jerry included this REA baggage car.  The square on point logos are add ons.  Seventeen inches over the sills.  The set came in a white with black lettering card stock carton.  They are few and far between.  Cars were lighted except for the baggage car.  John
