Even more good news, Dave!

As Ken pointed out above, three Pullmans built to plan 73A and assigned to the Utah & Northern (Advance, Security and Rambler), were also rebuilt in 1892 and also sold to the UPD&G, becoming coaches 174, 175 and 179.

Here is one of the ex-U&N Pullman coaches, along with the two ex-DSP&P Pullman coaches, on a Sunday School excursion at Morrison, in the mid-1890s:


From Digerness: The Mineral Belt, Vol. I

Note the 7 paired windows on the ex-DSP&P Pullman coaches and the 5 paired windows with single windows on each end on the ex-U&N Pullman coach. The ex-U&N cars would have served on the new C&S until early 1906 as C&S coaches numbered 144, 145 and 147.

Your in luck, as Bill Meredith is producing kits for both window styles (see up-thread). So now, your 1890s UPD&G passenger car fleet has grown to a potential of five coaches!!

I'll keep trying to find more kits for you to buy . . .
