Well, you might just want to model the 741, since it will be running
over that very section of the EL upon its restoration! :)  I believe
Bethlehem Car Works makes a brass-sided kit for this car (ELHS sells it,
I think?)

Not sure if the ex-DL&W diners were running that late, but Joe Lofland
made a brass-sided kit for this as well, and still might have some.
