Any chance of seeing the C of G cars? Todd Horton

Another question - does this work for downloading an archive like the old Freightcars list? Rob Kirkham

Al, I want one of the SP, even though it's a few years too early for my November 1941 modeling period. Will you have the ends available separately? Walter M. Clark Time stopped in November
