Bi-level Pullman

[tecnomuzik]

Does anyone know if anyone makes an HO Scale corrugated Bi-level pullman in stainless steel (undecorated) like the last car in this pic?

I think that those are called gallery cars, used in commuter service. Kato has them in HO: you'll have to scroll down the page a bit.

Walthers also does them:
Walthers Model Railroad Mall -- product information page for 932-5970

I have 3 Walthers cars two coach, one cab. You'll have to add windows, in some cases, and the fluting. I had a source for the fluting, in thin sheets, but I cannot find it myself (need to order some).

I ordered two of those Walters cars the other day. I contacted them regarding a corrugated version but they don't offer it. I'll look around for fluting.

I'm just getting into HO scale trains/layouts and I'm still trying to figure out what I can just purchase and what stuff I'll have to customize to fit my needs. I appreciate all the help!

After a little sytrene and Floquil's Old Silver paint I came up with my own using the previously mentioned Walthers Pullman Bi-levels.

Thanks. I'm just have to add some decals and the blue board with the Metra logo on it.

What'd you use for fluting?

 

[tecnomuzik]

I used Evergreen Styrene - Metal siding - 060" Spacing (1.5mm) & 040" Thick (1.0mm)

By "Pullman" I assume you mean the car was built by Pullman-Standard?? "Pullman" generally refers to Pullman sleeping cars, which haven't been around for quite a while outside of museums.

 

[tecnomuzik]

Yes, Pullman Standard bi-level.

This site offers thin plastic fluting: Pullman-Standard Fluting they also have Budd style fluting.
