SP "Silk Car" plans

Model Railroader Prototype information for the modeler

Looking for a copy of plans for Southern Pacific “Silk and Tea” express car from the early 1900’s. Road numbers for the lot ran from 6920-6969. The article I’m interested in appeared in the February 1965 Model Railroader pp. 42-44. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Randy I don’t have that particular issue, but you might be interested in knowing that the carbody of one has been retrieved following decades of use as a backyard storage shed, this one survived in MW service well into the forties before retirement and sale. I’ll have to locate those plans as well, I could use a few of these in S scale.
