We will soon have the first batch of 50 resin Pullman plan 320 kits which are the HO scale replicas of Car 57 the 1887 Pullman being restored here in Cheyenne.
Primarily designed to be given away as presentation models to generous donors ($750 and over) its is a highly accurate HO model for model railroaders too.
We know that Central of New Jersey had these as did Northern Pacific, and Southern Pacific to name a few.
The first batch is almost sold out, but expressions of interest are being taken for a second batch, they will be sold with or without trucks and decals for DT&FW, UPD&G and C&S.

I reviewed the various Plan 320 (various design modifications) that Pullman made. I was using Neubauer's CD Early Pullman Freight and Passenger Car Production.

Something like 345 cars of this plan were built (and four replacement bodies). The orders ranged from those for one or two, to several for ten at a time, and then were were a few for more than 40 cars at a time. From coast to coast to coast.

Mike,

Yes, it does. It list buyer, numbers, and some times renumbering notes.

It's a great resource. I think I've posted a link in a previous message.

Check your PM.
