Re: Rapido single sheathed box cars
Hi Chris,
I received my two cars this week--one Milwaukee and one C&NW.
- First Impression: Very nice models, good paint color, good lettering, nice weight, very well built, nice detail all around.

Re: Rapido single sheathed box cars
Of the very few images illustrating the roof on B&O M-24 box cars, it seemed like they used another variant of replacement roof. One can be seen in this Dayton Union Station photo from the Barriger

Charlie,
The only thing I could think of would be something like a magazine for a weapon, like a pistol or rifle, such as might be used by Railroad Police or a Railroad Postal Service

Re: Wabash HO Box Cars for early to mid 1950s?
Victor;
If you are modeling the early to mid-1950's, the original small flag emblem is absolutely appropriate on many Wabash steel box cars. I've seen paint and stenciling diagrams

Re: Pacific Fruit Express Aluminum Refrigerator Car PFE 45698
Built after the 1945 built R-40-20 class, the postwar built aluminum cars were classified as R-40-14 rebuilds and assumed numbers from that class. They reportedly used mostly all new components, but
