One item that onfuses the layouts of Pullman cars are their lengths. Have no idea what car lengths were in use in the heavyweight era. Now the stainless sleepers any one know?

A Plan 3410 (12 sections, 1 drawing room) Pullman was approximately 83 feet long at the end plates of the passageway.

A streamlined Plan 4069H car (4 double bedrooms, 4 Compartments, 2 drawing rooms) was 84’ 9’ at its end plates.

I must defer to someone who has plans for a Superliner car for its length.
