    I'm hunting for layouts of Pullman sleepers. Any idea where on the net such things are available?

    Thank you.

    There are many places but not as far as I have found, one definitive source. What are you looking for, interior, exterior, lightweight, heavyweight?

    Specifically, interior heavyweight.

    I'm looking at a 1920's heavyweight Pullman sleeper. I may want to rebuild it to something closer to its original configuration... except that I've no idea what that configuration was.

    Interior layouts of various heavyweight cars have showed up in the press many times but are scattered about and not available in one location. I believe most of the original Pullman drawings are preserved in some library but access to them is not easy but still possible. I think your best be would be to join the Yahoo Group on Passenger cars.

    There are many knowledgeable folks there that can point you in the right direction on were to find specific information. The Files and Links section on the Group Home Page has some information too. Here are a few of the links but I don't know if you can find the exact information you need there.
