A Harvey House restaurant for the Carbondale Junction

Excellent 

Thanks Don

Ron, Perhaps their disposable supplies were delivered in a car similar to this. Three compartments; chilled food, canned, boxed and bagged food, and dry supplies such as linen, plates, pans, etc.   John in Lansing, ILL

So is that structure a kit or what?  It does look familiar......and nicely done, too.

Please tell us more.....

John, I had no idea the Harvey  houses had their own supply car. MWB it is the old Weaver kit.

I was not aware of the Harvey Santa Fe map cars.  Very interesting.

 I do know of Company service reefers, painted Santa Fe coach green, which had passenger-style imitation gold lettering, assigned to supplying the Harvey Houses along the railroad.  Fred Harvey took good care of Santa Fe and Santa Fe took good care of Fred Harvey.  I had some good meals in Harvey lunch counters along the railroad, back in the day.

Ron and Tom,    I wrote an LCCA magazine article a few years back, I think Fred Harvey had six supply cars.  I haven't seen a picture of one, the HO shell could be a fantasy paint scheme.   John

Well done!

Peter

Harvey was well involve in the big tourist venues, the Grand Canyon, south rim, example.  There are a lot of historic references to Harvey and the waitresses, (Harvey Girls). 

Great work!!!

Thanks, Rattler.  It's a nice looking express reefer regardless.
