The John Maxwell Collection has a plan for the body of C&S coaches #70-74 (C-104) and plans for its 5'-0" wheelbase trucks (MC-187 and MC-201). The Quick Pic Book series by Tim Mulina has a picture book on coach #76. That coach is currently in storage by the Colorado Historical Society and unavailable to the public. The book contains 135 original b/w and 4 color photos showing details of the car as it now stands.
