Re: NJI&I 4100-4270 boxcars running board type
Chris, sets E-2 and E-3 each have the flag etc that you want.
Each set has NJI&I reporting marks for only one car, as does
the E-1 set.

Re: New Accurail Offset twin hopper
Based on Al's description, it sound like the Atlas, Kadee, and Athearn offset twins are the long-taper design, while the drawing on Accurail's site would suggest the "short-taper" design.

I believe there were basically three types of "patented/licensed" ARA/AAR transitional end side-panels being used:
1) 1928 Enterprise and Wine designs
2) 1931 Kiesel
