Planning on putting interior in the Weaver Hiawatha passenger cars. I believe they were used in 1939. I am showing the plans I used for my Great Northern cars along with interior for diner car. Does any one have the floor plans for the Hiawatha cars? Thanks, Dom

I do! beavertail, parlor, dinner, lounge- coach, tip top tap, railway P.O.- bunk room coach, mail-express, and express baggage.
Kp[e to see them.
All the floor plans, exterior drawings, photos and info for Milwaukee Road's home built passenger cars from 1936-1942 are in this large format book (still available):

Are we assuming that the Weaver cars have prototypically accurate window placements?

they are close enough to the scale drawings

It is still available, currently discounted to $85 with free shipping. The Milwaukee Shops first book is the one that is out of print and very expensive.
