Anyone out there have interior color information for the NYC corrugated side coaches. I have 4 of the new Walthers cars, and just getting ready to do some interior detailing by painting seats and partitions, adding window shades, and some passengers. Len Holt-South Bend IN

If you have access to a copy of The Official Pullman-Standard Library volume on the NYC you'll find two photos of the interior of these coaches on page 74. Unfortunately, the caption states that they don't have a description of the colors of the floor, wall, and seat materials. I'll check some other books I have to see if there's a better description or photo out there.

If I might venture a guess, I suspect that the interior colors mimicked other NYC passenger cars of this era as the Central was very aware of maintaining a family appearance in their fleet.
