door, there are several resin kits. Also a Red Caboose M-26 (Pennsy X- 29). The M-26B variation is a PRR clone right down to the rivets, start with a Pennsy decorated car. Two B&O cars to avoid: The M-15K wagontops were rebuilt enmasse during 1954-55 and disappeared. Currently, the manufacturers offer the M-15K but none of the post-1955 rebuilds. Red Caboose recently offered cars decorated for class M-26E in the billboard "B&O" scheme. Paint looks good, but the real M-26E's had Duryea underframes, a substantial appearance flaw for that model. Red Caboose is not tooled for any Duryea underframes. --- In STMFC@..., "Fred Mullins" <fmullins@...> wrote:
