(LVRR) Query - Walthers vintage passenger car kits (HO)



Anyone out there have an old catalog or listing for the Walthers line of
metal side and wood passenger car kits?  I picked up a modernized
heavyweight combine over the weekend; the car looks a lot like an existing
former Lehigh Valley car, except the LV car is a diner, and the LV appears
to have never had a combine like this.  So I wondered if there was a diner
in this line, or just what others were available to keep an eye out for.
This one has big rectangular non-opening style windows and a rounded
streamline style roof (you had to round the ends yourself from the standard
stock they included).

This car is built less trucks and painted pullman green with Burlington
decals from the original sheet included. It came in the original box top
with the instructions, the rest of the decals, and leftover window material.
I'd trade it for a diner or sleeper if I can get a look at one to see if
they're closer to what I want.  Otherwise I'll see if I can strip it and
paint it maroon to match my other LV cars.

Thanks

Bill K.
