hi: i know when the car was built with k brakes. with increasing demand for accuracy a reweigh date in the 40s would be preferrable. my error was that i should have said new date 1930. there is an accompanying prototype photo of the car with the new 1930 date and k brakes where the model has ab brakes. marty cooper

A late 1950's photo of freshly repainted GATX 1518 shows a built date of 1928 or 1929
