Bill, I don't have a spreadsheet but I have these notes -- the
numbers refer to the
Southwest Scale Productions part numbers. The 10'6" and 10'0"
dimensions refer to the
inside height of the box cars. The doors themselves are shorter than the
IH number.

#622 10'-6" 6' 6/6/5 IYD (improved Youngstown door), the so called
