(erielack) FW: Pullman car question

["Tom Schmieder" <dlw_fan_@_hotmail.com>]

Dear List,

Boy, that first attempt seemed to get really garbled.  Let's try this in 
plain text this time.

I have a modeling question that I have not been able to answer.  I have the 
Bachmann Spectrum Heavyweight Pullman passenger car (Santa Fe - Echo Lake).  
I was told that this car model is appropriate for a car that ran on the 
Lackawanna.  I looked up this name on the Pullman Project website and found 
that the Echo Lake was a plan 3585 car.  When I cross referenced that plan 
number over to the cars that served on the DL&W, I discovered that the plan 
3585 cars were in the Lake series - Medicine Lake, Bowman Lake and Devils 
Lake.  Of course, Branchline has done those three cars with their excellent 
Pullman models.  The problem I have, however, is that when I compared the 
Bachmann car to the Branchline car of the 3585 floor plan, they do not look 
anything alike.  First and most obvious, is that the Bachmann car has only 
one vestibule.  Window arrangements differ, roof lines differ, etc....

Do anyone have any idea if the Bachmann car would be a good representative 
of any of the Pullman cars that ran on the Lackawanna?

Here's a link to Bachmann's site where you can view the car that I have:

If that doesn't work, try Bachmann's website www.bachmanntrains.com

The item number is   89147

Thanks for your time and guidance.
