Paul, I am obviously a fan of the R32, too. Actually, the name-plate insignia in the R32s was "Built by the Budd Company". I can still picture the insignia, with the name "Budd" in big blue, slanted letters on a bright, shiny (stainless, of course) name plate. The name plate was placed behind the emergency brake handle. The interior colors matched, too, on the originals. To think that if the TA had continued to by Budd trains they would not have to be replacing the other, newer cars so soon. Budd was way too advanced for the TA starched-shirts back then.
