Robert, that is indeed one of the Pullmans that was rebuilt into a combination mail-coach. I suspect it is the 42, as this car appears to be the most photographed, and the space between the paired windows is equal.

Baggage car 1 or 2 is distinctive as a short-ish 37 foot car in a train of over forty footers! What neat images. The reason we all model the C&Sng--a great-looking train that is three cars long.

Jim, whyizzit that baggage and mail cars all got trucks with cast steel frames and inside hung brakes? I spose one could model this with PBL trucks by clipping off the top beam ears and the diagonal strap and removing the brake beam???
