I recently acquired several brand new Phoenix Railways extruded aluminum passenger cars with the California Zephyr moniker. I would be interested in completing the set. I am looking for a dome car and an observation car. CB&Q or Western Pacific would also work if all aluminum like these. Any info on this defunct mfg would be helpful or any compatible aluminum successors. Post reply on Form. Thanks. Chuck

These show up occastionally on eBay.  At the Wheaton, Ill. (Chicago) monthly show some years ago there was a booth operated by a Chicago area shop that ordered these from the manufacturers.  I, and a friend, collect RPO's and we ordered, I one, and I think my friend got one..mine D&RGW, theirs Pennsy. One of the partners, from Phoenix, had a space at Wheaton once and I  talked to him.  He implied he had medical problems and I suspected that led to the demise of the line.  AFTER that, a couple of years ago, several versions, including unlettered shells, etc., were offered on eBay out of Phoenix, Az., and I bought a couple.  I did not ask specifically if these were the remnants of the Phoenix line of cars, but suspected that they were. I don't

remember names but probably have the paper around here somewhere.
