O guage 3-rail L&N "Duncan Hines" diner car

Thank you. That is probably the case, or it may have been a 2-rail O scale kit.

In any case, it is similar to another project problem that impacts my plans to repaint a smooth-side baggage and possibly an RPO in Wabash blue livery to add to my recreation of the UP/Wabash "City of St. Louis". The problem with the project is he absence of Wabash decals for the cars. At train shows I run MTH Wabash passengeer diesels with a MTH streamline ribbed baggage and six K Line UP 18" extruded aluminum cars. Surprisingly, there have been a number of attendees who have identified this arrangement as the "City of St. Louis", and most note the absence of prototype Wabash head end cars. One hobbyist advised of a photo (which I did locate) that clearly show the "City of St. Louis " logo in white script at front end of the of a baggage car. Also, other observers have commented on the fact that the "City" Union Pacific cars with yellow, red, and gray livery should have Wabash in red lettering vs. UP. Photos of the six UP livery cars owned by the Wabash did in fact, have Wabash vs. UP car lettering.

I guess I am going to combine the "Duncan Hines" and Wabash UP cars into a professional lettering project once I locate some one who specializes O guage equipment.

MTH offered a 5 car smooth sided passenger set in the correct livery in their 2007 Volume 2 catalog. There were 6 addition add-on cars offered including the “MTH 20-66111 Louisville & Nashville 2-Car 70' ABS Slpr/Diner Passenger Set (Smooth)”. The Diner car in this set has road number 2599 in the location where “Duncan Hines” belongs. Your best bet is to find this set and replace the 2599 decals with the correct Duncan Hines decals.
