Concor LWT Coach
Model above has the Budd replacement roof.
Photo from ATSF..
Concor model 702 is an 85' fluted coach. Close to Budd-built (1941-46) ATSF 3137-3168, but you have to substitute a Budd roof (Concor Part #70), change the letterboard corrugations, and change the trucks. The bud roof needs some additional vents for perfection.
These cars were built as 60 seat chair cars and re-equipped with 42 leg rest chairs in 1954.
Reference:
Stagner, Lloyd E. ATSF Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment. Edison, NJ: Morning Sun Books, 1995. Page 9 has a photo of 3138 as re-equipped to 42 leg rest chair car.
Car and Locomotive Plans for Model Railroaders. Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway System, 1953. Includes drawing and photo. The drawing, in error, has a Pullman roof, which also explains the model. Concor used this bad drawing from which to make their model.
