Support material I have, beside the Jack Work article for the 35 foot
business cars, include an historical article/ plans John Ridell did
on these cars: "Canadian Pacific's 35-foot business cars" Railroad
Model Craftsman, Sept 1999 page 77
. There was also an article on restoring one of the cars, #27, at
Ottawa in the Bytown Ry Society's Sept 2007 "Branchlines"
newsletter. This article included an interior shot and a floorplan.

Hi Jeff,
I went on line and registered with the CPHA and looked at the folio
sheets. Business car no. 5 is not the same as the car Jack Work did
in his article and that Van Hobbies imported. The Business car No. 5
I am looking for is only 35 feet long, wood construction, and was
built in 1912 in the company shops. There is no other information in
the Model Railroader article of 1956 other than how Mr. Work built
the car. There is a nice drawing of both sides of the car but no
interior which is what I am after. Photos, some underbody information
would be nice too.
I looked at a lot of folio sheets on line after registering and see a
101 projects to model.
Thank you for any help you can offer,
Jerry Kitts
