Ex-NYC 'Slumbercoaches'

[passengerfan]

Sorry the NYC (24-8) Slumbercoaches were leased from Budd between October 1959 and assigned to the Twentieth Century Limited two per consist between New York and Chicago. The four Sleepercoaches as they were called by the NYC were numbers 10800-10803 and were returned to Budd whwn the lease expired. Budd sold the four ex NYC Slumbercoaches to the Northern Pacific in November 1964 where they became 333 Loch Tay (ex NYC 10800), 334 Loch Rannoch (ex NYC 10801) , 335 Loch Arkaig (ex NYC 10802), and 336 Loch Awe (ex NYC 10803).
The NYC had Budd rebuild ten 22-Roomette sleeping cars to 16-10 Sleepercoaches in 1961 that lasted into Amtrak so would have operated in PC. These cars after rebuilding were numbered 10810 - 10819 and were assigned to 20Th Century Limited, New England States, Ohio State Limited, Cleveland Limited and Wolverine. Hope this helps.

Does anyone know if the ex-NYC Slumbercoaches (24-8) made it to PC? If so, where can I find pictures? A friend of mine asked me to do an N scale model for him. Any help is appreciated.
