Matt,

Based on photographs of each series I agree. Wood running boards up to the 17999. Monad is centered. Another change starting with the 18000 series is now has "Main Street of the Northwest" under the Monad. Russ

Sent: Sunday, 27 May, 2007 19:39 Subject: Re: [STMFC] Prototype verification, or not Schuyler and Group, For a NP 1937 AAR box car the number series should be 15000-17999. Some cars were renumbered but that happened after the cut off date for this list. The paint scheme is a representation of an as built car (1940-1) and I have seen a photo taken in the early 1950s of a car still in this scheme. However the Monad on the right side of the car should be centered on the middle side panel between the door and car end. On the model the Monad is too close to the door. The cars had wood running boards until scrapping or removal. Can't tell from the photo but the car should have 8 rung ladders. Hope this helps. Matt Herson
