Hi gang,<br />I'll need some very specific help. I am modeling IC's City of New Orleans, with some secondary focus on the City of Miami. We're cutting off the lauout at 1957 do I can run steam and deisel.<br />The CoNO in its later days included a vista dome coach. I have a smooth-sided one, probably IHC-Rivarossi, labeled "Magnolia State." I can find no evidence that this type of car ever wore IC colors.<br />Through pictures and a comprehensive reference book I learned the following:<br />1) You can't trust road names on models. This name was used on a compartment and roomette sleeper in 1942.<br />2) IC aquired four dome cars in 1967. The were unnamed corrugated-side Budds, determined from information in the book cross-referenced with a color photo.<br />Can anyone substantiate IC using the smooth-sided lightweight domes, and if so, with what road name and in what consist?<br /><br />Chuck
