Plus a photograph of combine SLSF 162. It is similar to combine SLSF 166 taken in July 1939 in Springdale, AR.

Happy modeling.

Doug,

Thank you for these great pages of heavyweight floor plans.

I have been wanting this information for some time, and I just found this thread. Now, if I can get side elevations or photographs to go with these floor plans, I will be able to decide which heavyweight cars I would try to model.

The side views would tell me which cars were modernized and to what extent - windows, flat side panels, blue and white paint, etc.. I really do appreciate your trouble to include this valuable information here.

Again thanks.

Doug,

I never thanked you either, but now belatedly I do.

Many times I ate at the counter in snack car SLSF 1602. I was served by Bailey. I do not know whether that was a first or last name, but everyone knew him and he knew everybody.

In later years when I started trying to analyze the operation of trains No 704/709, I realized there must have been some sort of dormitory arrangement as he seemed to work both legs of the trip and your floor plans confirmed that, indeed, such was the case.

Oh that we could relive those days. Dinner in the diner-lounge-observation of the Meteor was certainly special, but Bailey's ham and egg breakfast on train No 709 was to die for!

Anyway, thanks Doug.

And I enjoyed the counter in SLSF 1603, usually on train No 107.

Cheeseburger and a Coke. However, I unfortunately did not get the attendant's name.

In 1962, I was so enthralled with this car that I hustled over to Spotlight Hobby Shop, bought an undecorated Athearn arch roof coach, some clunky Walthers details, interiors, and some Squadron styrene, then kit bashed myself one from photographs I took with my Brownie.

Hey, I was only 14 but I was sure proud of that car.
