The Intermountain Centralia Chicago and North Western coach has now been released. This is a model of a Post War Pullman Standard car used on the "400 Streamliner" and other trains.The look and the window arrangement is similar to the roads Pre War streamlined coaches. The cars are available in the North Western original green and yellow scheme with 400 markings on car sides,in Union Pacific yellow and gray with red C. & N.W. lettering on letterboards and "Streamliner" in red cursive on lower car sides. There were some pooled cars painted like this.The model is also available lettered for Union Pacific in two tone gray scheme,(meant to represent similar pre war UP Challenger coaches).Both the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific purchased some of these cars second hand when North Westen dropped alot of it's passenger service (not commuter) and these are represented on the IM model as well NP two Tone Lowe green which is nicely done, GN Empire Builder orange and green,looks very sharp, and the later Sky Blue scheme,to me the blue is a bit dark,but then I'am use to Con Cor's old cars.Only complaint those evenly arranged window shades pulled down awfully low so we can't easly put passengers in the cars that would be viewed thru the windows.
