CN steel auto box cars...

CN Lines Vol. 6/4 has a couple of photos of interest. One is of CV
41099, built by Pressed Steel Car Company in March, 1929, and is

also

on the National Archives of Canada/CN Images of Canada website. You
may have to copy and paste the link into your browser--

It clearly shows the use of a "Dreadnaught" 3/3/3 end on this car.

The article in CN Lines also has a builder's photo of GTW 34620,

built

by AC&F in 1920/21. It was a steel-frame car, built with "Murphy"

7/8

ends. An Accurail car might be a starting point for this car?

But, while we're on the subject of auto box cars, any suggestions

for

modelling this one??

Hey all;
On the SS 1 1/2 door automobile boxcar that GTW ran, what type

of an

end did this car have? I believe that a model of this class of

cars

were done as a resin kit in HO, but I'm doing in N scale hence the
question.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
