I am wrong and you are right. Can you believe I missed that photo?
Maybe you could use one of the existing Buckeye castings to make depressions for a reverse Buckeye casting end in a soft material like plastic wood. I've thought about making ends this way for the 75,500 series of cars which had what I thought (until now) were the only reverse Buckeye ends. It's not inconceivable that they were used on 50 ft. double door cars or double door cars with end doors (97,100 series?).
It's hard to find photos of all these different Erie cars. (Look at how many different car pages there are in the Erie diagram book on the fallen flags site!). Fortunately Dan Biernacki rescued a lot of company negatives from a dumpster.
Erie is one of the few roads to have a lot of steam era freight car photos on the fallen flags web site.
