Re: Rock Island automobile box car 160250 with end door
Looks very nice Lester, I built the car as well and there’s something about those 40-ft DD cars, especially wood and outside braced. Nicely done. And enjoyed your blog

Re: Oregon short line stock cars
For a short time, the UPHS offered a kit for the S-40-6, which I assumed when I ordered them were 40' cars. In fact, they were 36', and the kit is an interesting mix of Red Caboose parts from the SP
