Here's an interesting article that was posted on the Passenger Car groups.io list.

Back in the 50's and 60's the Air Force converted several sets of passenger cars to house B52 and KC135 flight simulators. They would then move these to different bases for training. Would make for an interesting model.

They had several of these at the Ogden Union Station in the late 80s. They were interesting, but there just wasn't the interest in restoring them. Also the AF had stripped them pretty good before releasing them. I'm not sure where the ended up.
There was a set of these cars on a siding near B W Wilson paper in Richmond VA about 20 years ago, belonged to a RR passenger car / parts dealer.
Maybe some of the Richmond area members know of them or their demise.
