Re: Lehigh Valley Boxcars P&L
My personal memory is that Valley steel box/auto cars were all red, and I have most LV books and can’t remember seeing any with black roofs. I consider my friend Lee Turner to be the real expert.

Re: PS-# intro dates
Can we do a little better that "circa 1948" for the PS-1 boxcar? I have thought the first
production cars were completed in 1947 and am trying to pin the date down a bit better.

That certainly meets prior info I have. However when I enlarge the photo both the A and B ends appear to have six narrow corragations, not four. I've bought a NYC 41' gon kit with Murphy
