Yep, Bill's first phase of the Pullman program is for the cars pre-1906. Remember he is a DSP&P fan, with a layout planned for 1885. Me thinks Bill wants some 1880's Pullmans for his layout, with sleeper service to Leadville and Gunnison.
However, a "Tourist Sleeper", numbered by Pullman 466, was also re-built as a first-class coach by Pullman and also sold to the UPD&G as coach 193 in 1896; in 1899 it became C&S 153, and finally C&S 62 after 1906; it survived until abandonment and was used on the scrapping trains as an outfit car: https://www.midcontinent.org/rollingstock/CandS/cc-passenger/coach_193updg1.htm
Bill plans to do the C&S coach 62 in the second phase of the Pullman project, along with the Business car 910 (rebuilt from one of the DSP&P Pullmans, the South Park). Both will be useful to those who model the C&S anytime after 1906, including the Guty layout of c.1910.
I've also suggested to Bill that he consider a 3rd phase of the project, namely the RPO-Coaches 41-43. All three were identical, all were rebuilt in 1906 from DSP&P and UN Pullmans, all rode on the 6'-0' wheel base Pullman trucks. We need more C&S head end cars!!! They also would be useful for your c.1910 Como layout in HOn3.
So anyways, Dave Eggleston could use kits for the Plan 73A Pullman, the current Tourist Sleeper and the upcoming Coach 62 to model a total of six different UPD&G coaches in use between 1894-1898. His cup runneth over!
I have ordered one of the Plan 73A kits and a pair of trucks for C&S coach 178 to use in my 1901 passenger train. When phase 2 rolls around I will need a coach 62 and the business car 910 for my 1909 and 1924 rosters . . . and perhaps there will be a phase 3 with the RPO-coaches, who knows.
