Wabash fans, HELP!
Posted by jimrice4449 on Sunday, February 18, 2007 6:25 PM
I hate to incurr walleyworld's ire by violating his exclusivity rule (which seems to have been omitted from Bergie's rule thread) but I tried this on the MRR forums and had no luck so I thought I'd see if I could tap into a non-modeler Wabash fan for the info I need.   Many psgr trains had "signiture" cars that identified them (Creek obs on 20th cent, dome/diner on Super Chief).   The Wabash Banner Blue and Bluebird carried a heavywieght bagg/coach that was distinctive in having 2 baggage doors per side.   Does anybody know how many psgr windows there were per side and what the correct number series would be?  Thanks
