resin guys really doze off quickly when you say "flat car." Us Espee
guys want 'em too.

Tony - what class(es) would these be in EsPee?

BTW, Bruce, you now recognize that the "Ding" article was
about
quite a stand-in, no?

Now? Yes, I do! I actually rummaged through the storage box the
other night - you know the one you all have hidden away in a back
corner full of Athearn 40' box cars (aka rivet donors) for one of
those flats. Fortunately I either never bought one, or divested
myself early. Much to my surprise I did find a pair of MDC 30' flats
that I had forgotten about - those will become Milwaukee Road gun
flats <G>
