ARA 1932 Matches for Atlas Body Styles
Garth Groff <sarahsan@...>
Friends, I did some work matching between Ed Hawkins'
list from the old Steam-Era Freight Car pages (
http://www.steamerafreightcars.com/prototype/frtcars/1932aramain.html
) and the Atlas body list Don Burn provided. Below are the roads
which more-or-less match the Atlas offerings. A number of odd
combinations are missing here, including BAR, CG, NdeM, etc. which
don't match any of the body styles. Also missing are some "short
tab" (the tabs below the doors) cars with the 4/4 ends which would
be an easy conversion, including the 5 ARA demos, three of which
went to the C&O and one each to NYC and PRR. Need Duryea
underframes? You're on your own.
