I've been chatting with Rob and I've solved his problem for him. And as you put it Jerry, left overs from the Sunshine conversion. Pierre Oliver

I don't see those on the Tangent site. Am I missing something? The link takes me to what should be the right page. Ron Merrick

I had forgotten (or never realized) that Ted did different versions of this car. I have two of what's called KC105.1 (just marked KC105 on the box), and would have gladly had one of the KC105.3

Thanks to some information kindly sent to me by the very generous Dan Holbrook, I learned that the USRA requested the "advice, assistance and co-operation of the Interstate Commerce Commission" in

Ryan, Ted did multiple variations of Wabash 10ft6in IH boxcars with Decatur shops' bolster-to-bolster sills; all kits used Branchline bodies with Branchline rectangular panel roofs. Two series of
