Pullman Heavyweight Livery and Detail Mod

Included for your railroad is a mod to more accurately represent the heavyweight Pullmans of the 1910s-1930s, as well as the Palace Cars of the late 19th century.

The majority of these cars were built, owned, and operated by The Pullman Company; and this mod includes 7" Pullman lettering, done from the original Pullman tracing; more

appropriate marker lamps; and appropriate name boxes.

I find that "<scale=1. 5><size=50>MAITLAND" works well on the Palace cars; or <scale=1. 75><size=50>McGIRTH works well for the single word names, such as on the 12-1s, which are 4. 5" figures.

For longer names, I have done something like <scale=2. 5><size=44>LAKE  MOREAU. The longest names, such as <<scale=1. 35><size=50>CLOVER  PASTURE or <scale=1. 75><size=50>LAKE  PEARLaw

All cars have a "Pullman Name" tick box that uses Lego's Livery pack to add naming options. They also have A End and B End marker lights (even though these heavyweights originally had

a handbrake at either end).

Along with the Pullman operated cars, the dining car would generally be railroad operated, so one with Southern Railway style sill stripe and "name" box for the 'DINING CAR' text has been included;

and as this is a shortline and no shortline is complete without a combine, I have done a matching railroad-owned/operated combine; after which point I figured I should finish the pack with a chair car,

using the Lego's Custom text box for "CHAIR CAR" lettering.

I have also done a wooden REA-Baggage car on the vanilla car, with Mail Storage option (since it has no catching hooks) and Pullman letterboard options for the wooden Pullman Palace Cars.

To be authentic, Pullman owned and operated cars were painted Pullman brown (which UPS adopted) until 1902, after which point "Pullman Green", actually a brown in itself,

(a mixture of yellow, black, and either grey or red) took over as "Pullman Standard Body Color".

As lightweights came about, several roads (NYC, SP, SAL) adopted 2-tone grey schemes, leading The Pullman Company to create the "Pool Scheme" which comprised 2-tone grey.

After the 1948 divestiture Pullmans began to be painted in other schemes, but the "green" remained on a great many cars. This is what I have worked to recreate here.

These cars were owned by The Pullman Company, NOT the railroads, and barring a few exceptions, as such carried only Pullman
