I went through my stash of old kits and found nothing. Front Range, McKean, C&BT, Branchline, etc. Plenty of 5-6-6 and 6-6-5, but no 5-6-5. Richard Townsend Lincoln City, OR

I am hoping someone can help me with a project I am working on. The car is a 1945 DD boxcar, 10'6" height cars with 14' door opening (two 7' doors) that were of the interim improved youngstown design

 HI Bob, Thanks for the fascinating photo. I'm thinking, if I fill in some blanks in the photo, that the car closest to the camera possibly maybe is UTLX 629. Note that NONE of the tank cars
