NH "Anotok"
 
Heavyweight sleeper (12 section, 1 drawing room), New Haven "Anatok" (NH 700).  I started with one of the Pecos River Brass models unlettered and painted Pullman green.  The car was disassembled, the diaphragm plates and saftey gates were removed, and the door frame openings were widened.  American Limited operating diaphragms were assembled and attached at either end.  New holes were drilled and tapped for the coupler screws, which had to be adjusted inward for the draphragms to operate properly.  Custom decals were made and applied.  The car body was sprayed with a satin clear finish to protect the decals and kill the high gloss black sheen on the roof.  The windows were formed from Evergreen clear styrene and attached with Walthers Goo.  The frosted bathroom windows were cut from Rosco light frost photographic diffusion filter film and attached to the clear styrene from the inside.  Micro-Trains couplers were added after the car was assembled.  This sleeper is assigned to the Owl consist.
