There is a 3/4 photo of WM 30001 in RPC vol 4 pg 30. The ends are an unusual style, certainly not dreadnought. The lower part consisits of 4 "valleys", pressed below the plane of the end of car and 3 "large hills" pressed above this plane , the upper part having 3 "valleys" and 2 "hills". Two "small hills" border the joint between the upper and lower parts. This joint is riveted and is on the end plane of the car. The car ends are freight car red, the roof also appears to be freight car red Close inspection of the edge of the roof confirms that this is Viking Hope this helps, and good luck scratch building that end Ian Clasper ----- Original Message -----

These cars had 12' doors, a 10' 4" inside height, and Viking roofs. They werefrequently pictured in Greenville's ads in the Cycs and other trade press, shown only in a side view.square-corner 5/4 Dreadnought with a large flat panel at the top, but they could also used 5/5 ends with thelast wale scrunched close to the eave, or even some other end design. Also, does anyone know if theends and/or roof were coated with black car cement? Presumably the sides were freight car red. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
