<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="pajrr"] <P><FONT size=3>Hi, My railroad club has a model of a sleeping car that is rather unusual. It has Duplex compartment windows and regular compartment windows only on one side. The other side looks like a regular coach or sleeping car. This would work if all the duplex rooms were on one side of the car only, with the corridor down the other side of the car (like when you walk past the kitchen in a dining car.) Were cars ever built with rooms, especially duplex rooms on only one side of the car? If so, who built them and who owned them? We are trying to figure out if our model is based on a real prototype or a fantasy piece. Thank you.</FONT>[/quote]</P> <P>About 1968, if I remember correctly, whilst I was working in New York City, I took the Broadway Limited to Chicago on several occasions. On one occasion I had a duplex room. As I remeber it, the car had the window and corridor arrangement that you mentioned. </P>
