    Back a few years ago Walthers produced some Union Pacific passenger cars. In their advertising it was said "Complete Consists for City Of San Francisco" as well as other trains. Not so. 33210008.jpg 33210005.jpg
    I built a City of San Francisco and found out Walthers left out two cars used on the train. The lounge car for Pullman passengers and the blunt ended 10-6 Pullman were not produced.
    I built the lounge car using car sides from Union Station Products. A car core kit from Train Station Products. Trucks from IHC. Diaphrams from Walthers. Couplers from Kadee and interior fittings from Palace Car Company. A standard Pullman 10-6 was used on the rear with the reasoning that it was a substitute car
    Passengers came from several sources
    Here are photos of the car
