I recall when these came out. Some sold rather quickly.
The B&O auto M-59 had the wrong doors. CB&T replaced them free. And yes the various parts were not nice.
However they filled a void and still are attractive for other endeavors.
Just my thoughts.

Sincerely, Mark Morgan

Santa Fe FE-26 class, 40" double door cars were equipped with Evans loaders

during the 40s and they were removed during the 50s, as the cars were

transferred to auto parts shipping, etc.



A model of these was available from C&BT Part # HO-0401.to HO-0405. I've

found them in hobby shops and they appear on ebay from time to time.



They also made a variety of other road names including Wabash, NYC, B&O,

etc.



The ATSF cars are pretty accurate IMHO.



I don't know whether the other roads listed are prototypically accurate. I'm

sure other on this list will know.



Cheers



Dave
