(erielack) BCW Kit #812 - Erie Buffet-Coach "Valiant"

[tonyhorn1_@_comcast.net]

Can anyone give me more information concerning the prototype for this kit.  The kit has recently become available, but I'd not seen any announcements or comments on it.  Information in the kit says "Valiant, Plan4019B was placed in service 13 July 1932, rebuilt from Electra Plan 2416; equipped with Ice AC 29 June 1934; sold to the Erie Railroad on 4 March 1943." 



What trains would this car have been used on?  How long was it on the roster?  Would it ever have been painted in the 2T Green?  Did it always have solarium windows on the parlor end or was that end later a solid end? 



The number is lower than the numbers described in DeYoung's Erie equipment book. 



Any information would be welcomed.  It is available through the ELHS.
