To do a run with appropriate markings is simple... take the Pullman green "Pullman" model and apply any of the names (except for
Mt. Lyell, which was a 3421N 10 section - solarium lounge so its not even a part of this discussion)... and you can add
Anaconda,
Maximilian and
Wadena to the list as well since these cars were sold to the FW&D... or they can simply paint the model Pullman green with a black roof, put "CB&Q" and a number ([Plan 3410] 620 - 622, [3410A] 625 - 627) on the lower part of the body and there you have it. In service none of the car types that apply to the "Q" wore "Q" roadnames or reporting marks until they were removed from Pullman lease and was reassigned for use as coaches (listed as dorm cars in ORPTEs).
What may cause some confusion in regards to the Pullmans is the former PULL car
Meath, a Plan 2410F 12-1 which has incorrect lettering. In service as coaches the cars appeared just like the one below with just the reporting mark and number...
