Hi to all We are restoring the above plan 320 1st class car ex DT&FW 45, UPD&G 731, C&S 513. Does anyone know of drawing details for the toilet arrangments, the ladies was bigger than the gents and had 2 side windows, we have a cross section drawing and frame and bodyside drawings but dont know the style/construction, of the toilet walls and doors. Also any details of a typical period toilet setup inc water tank etc. Does anyone remanufacture the twin gas hurricane lamps with four supports ? Any help would be appreciated.

I believe the Illinois Railroad Museum has many Pullman records. They might be able to help. http://www.irm.org or go directly to the Pullman Library page at http://www.irm.org/history/pullmanlibrary.html Glen Brewer |
