Anybody scratchbuild a Pullman 14 Bdrm sleeper?

It obviously has to be a kitbash from several stock models, tho I suppose somebody did it in 3D printing. There were only 14 of these built, so not a big demand to commercially make one.

OK.....

14 section?  14 roomette?  14 single bedroom? 

I automatically thought that 14 standard bedroom layouts wouldn't fit, so go ahead and prove me wrong.

I think "plan 3080" is a typo on the part of the poster of the photo on Flicker.  The Pullman Project file has "Night View" and others as plan 3980A (and has no 3080 listed at all).

I have a mind like a steel trap...a VERY rusty, old steel trap.

Yep. That's the bedroom side. I need a pic of the aisle side. Or even plans. Looks like an interesting project.

Are you looking to scratchbuild or bash one of these yourself?

I can try to get whatever photos you need.  It just so happens that one of these is at our local railway museum (“Nightstar”).  Not sure if it’s next to something else, though.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's the aisle side - note the railing in the windows.
This picture is the bedroom side, although it's in B&O service at the time.

And here's the aisle side of the same car:

I thought he was talking heavyweights.  He means these?







We had them for a while, undec and painted/printed, plated-etched or plastic, but they are long gone.

I believe that @OldEastRR did mean heavyweights.
But I do love those 14-4 streamline cars you ( @bbussey ) did - I built four!  I wish you still made the occaissional kit of this type, they were really nice and I had a lot of fun building them.
