Hi Christian,

It looks like Bill's Pullman project is fully funded in HOn3/Sn3/On3, including the proposed spin offs (tourist sleepers, C&S coach 62 and C&S business car 910).

The baggage cars C&S 1 and 2 are fully funded by Mike and myself in Sn3 only. One option would be to join Mike and I and fund the same two cars in On3.

Another option to consider is to approach Bill about funding another spin-off of the Pullmans, the C&S RPO-coaches, numbers 40, 41, 42, and 43:  https://www.midcontinent.org/rollingstock/CandS/dsp-passenger/coach-rpos.htm

The RPO-coaches were converted from Pullmans about 1906, were in common use on the Denver to Leadville passenger and on Clear Creek. During the 1920s they were commonly seen on the Denver to Como run, as no RPO service was present in the 1920s from Como to Leadville.

In about 1930, the Leadville passenger train became tri-weekly with RPO service restored Denver to Leadville.
