I have two of those cars in S, which I made from 3 Silver Bullet coach bodies. They are mounted on 960 series bottoms, with added steps and details, and painted in the McGuiness colors, with lettering from Clover House. Other S gaugers have done this same conversion, some to scale length.
The prototypes of these cars were built by the Osgood-Bradley Co. of Worcester Massachusetts, a company later bought out by Pullman. I rode them many times on the New Haven. I have never before heard the McGuiness paint scheme referred to as the "Black Knight" scheme. "Black Bounder" might be a better term. McGuiness damaged the New Haven RR badly while he ran it, and then moved on to the Boston and Maine, where his activities landed him in jail. He was responsible for that very nice blue, black, and white B & M paint scheme before he went, though.
