Re: Candidates for Accurail cars
Clark LNE 8001- 8750 were 1923 ARA Steel Sheathed cars.The roofs were flat panel and later rebuilt with diagonal panel roofs after WW2. They are NOTHING like any accurail kit. Now 7001-7200 are SS

Re: Candidates for Accurail cars
The Accurail 7100 kit would be a good start for a CB&Q 26000 class boxcar, it is 9'4" IH while the 28000 is 10' IH. Accurail has two car numbers in the 26000 series. These cars had Murphy raised panel

Re: Photo: SP&S Boxcar 10098
Note on 10096 the “repacked” date (lower right corner) was ?4-22-32?
RE: Nip in top-left corner of door”
Looks to me like there is a sheet metal “hood” covering a potential leak spot

Re: Photo: SP&S Boxcar 10098
Ken,
Attached is an image of an NP boxcar with what seems like a 1933 weigh stencil.
SP&S may have followed NP practices at some point, just not in the early 1930s.

I see a 1932 weigh date stencil at the far end of the car side. I wonder why the SP&S continued to use older lettering guidelines nearly a decade after they were updated. Here are the elements that
