Where did you see the picture? If it's online a link would help.

I don't have my reference material at work but that number sounds
like it's one of the c 1928 cars built for the Central Vermont and
GTW. It might be a CV car that was transferred to the GTW.

Ed Beaudette did an article in MR a few years ago that included
prototype drawings of the CV/GTW 1-1/2 door as built cars (CV's 41000-
series). Not sure about the accuracy of the Mainline drawings Dennis
referred to but I do know the drawings in MR were based on prototype
drawings and confirmed with field measurements of three surviving
cars.

helps clear up which class I'm refering to, and again Dick thanks for
the scan of the car.

Richard,

He might mean the tall ca. 1930 cars that were drawn in Mainline
Modeler fifteen or twnty years ago. A number series would be

helpful.
