Re: (erielack) FW: Pullman car question



The Bachmann Car is a model of a 10 section, 2 double bedrooms, 1 drawing
room car.  12 cars had Scenic names.  4 were owned by DL&W, 4 by the LV and
3 by Erie. 2 Erie cars were converted to 4 sec, 6 roomette, 4 couble
bedroom configuration.  Walthers makes a 10 sec, 2 conpartment, 1 drawing
room car which could be correct to Erie and Lackawanna Lake series cars
