Blueriver-- There are a couple of photos of UP power car #208 on the Fallen Flags site http://www.rr-fallenflags.org (go to the Union Pacific pages). This car evidently was rebuilt from one of the UP's300-series baggage-dormitory-boiler cars. The 300-series cars were rebuilt in the early 1960s from 6000-series baggage-dormitory cars. Overland Models has announced a future production of car #208 in brass. The best bet for kitbashing would be to start with an American Model Builders UP #6000 baggage-dormitory car (AMB's kit #1010). Note that a 6-wheel truck is used under the (former) baggage end of the car, and a 4-wheel trcuk under the other end. Appropriate trucks are available from Train Station Products. --John
