This CD contains scans, in PDF format, of various passenger cars in service from 1963 up to 1978.

Contents:

Passenger Car Diagrams 1963-1970
Passenger Car Diagrams 1978
Passenger Equipment Renumbering 1963
Passenger Equipment Summaries 1963-1964

From the back cover:

In 1963, the entire MP and T&P passenger car fleet was renumbered to bring cars of similar configuration into one series. Part of this process involved revising passenger car diagrams for all equipment remaining on the roster. This CD contains almost 300 diagrams for MP and T&P passenger cars as of October 31, 1963, as well as revision diagrams for cars that were modified by the Sedalia shops in the 1960s. Also included is a set of business car diagrams from 1978 and various MP documents detailing the 1963 renumbering of the passenger car fleet.

Hi to all.

I received my passenger car CD today, and just wanted to say thanks and what an effort to do this.
I say thanks to all that had a hand in putting this information together .

I sincerely hope that a follow up CD can be produced for the Earlier cars 1939-1963.

If this subject interest you, I strongly recommend this CD, it is very well done.

Thanks Bill.
New CDs are in consideration. This period was chosen because the collection was complete with no missing drawings. Hopefully we can get the earlier passenger cars done as well. Hopefully several more digital CDs will be available in the coming year.

Any support for the project is appreciated, both in sales as well as donations of money or source material that will help the project.

This CD would not have been possible without assistance from Bill Pollard & Ted Ferkenhof.

Volunteers with experience working with digital files and that have access to high speed internet are also needed. Access to professional editing software like Photoshop and Adobe is also needed. Work can be done from home.
