I am interested to see nonstandard "floor plans" for different types of Budd RDC's. Examples that come to mind:
- RDC-1 on Canadian National Railways with a snack counter, or on British Columbia Railway with a small pantry,
- RDC-2 on Western Pacific Railroad with different seats in the forward and rear coach sections, respectively, or on Baltimore & Ohio Railroad with a dining section,
- RDC-3 on Great Northern Railway with a shorter coach section with five instead of six windows, or on Duluth, Winnipeg & Pacific Raiway with a shorter coach section with four instead of six windows, or on British Columbia Railway with no RPO section, and a galley,
- RDC-4 on Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway with a passenger section and standard stepwells in one end,
Can anyone help? /BF
I believe there have been a handful of books and magazine articles. Check the TRAINS and other magazine indices plus google, bing or whatever you do, for the books. Your libraian should be able to help.
