Re: End dates for Speedwitch Wabash SS auto cars

Scott I think misread the ORER. My July 1957 entry has 3 distinct entries in
the "Markings and Kind of Cars" column The first is car type, and for the
Wabash cars in question is either "box" or "auto". The second column is for
car construction. For the Wabash cars in question, "Staggered doors, steel
underframe, SS composite body." The third column is for notes.

The way I read the ditto marks for the 47000-47999 (Kit 109.3 Dreadnaught
ends, Steel doors) are still "Staggered doors, steel underframe, SS
composite body."

Please correct me if I am reading this wrong

Jan. '53 ORER shows:
40000-40999 (Kit 109.1, Murphy ends, Wood doors) 35 remaining

45400-45999 (Kit 109.2, Murphy ends, Steel doors) have become
"all steel" (rebuilds) by then

47000-47999 (Kit 109.3 Dreadnaught ends, Steel doors)
have become "all steel" also

So maybe I don't want to build one of these kits for a 1954 period...
what about 1947?
