Bob, The same is true for IC kits used by the railroad to build their riveted-side PS-1 box cars. There were no Pullman-Standard lot numbers that I've found assigned for these components/kit

Tim and friends, I personally would consider the cars to be "clones" if they used Pullman sides, ends and roofs, the signature pieces that make a PS-1 look like a PS-1. I

The MP built quite a few cars at DeSoto, Missouri with P-S components during the late 50s, up through 1960 which was pretty much the end of carbuilding there. The components that show up most often

I believe the NP cars with PS components to which Tim refers are shown here: http://www.nprha.org/NP%20Box%20Cars/Box%20Cars%2040%20Ft.%20Steel%20Sheathed%203000-3399.jpg General NP Freight Car

If one is discussing kit built cars, the B&O built some of their M-67, 470600-470999 series, box cars at their DuBois, Pa shops from P-S kits. These were unusual as they had an IH of 10-ft. There

I've never heard them called PS-1 clones, but the NP used Pullman parts to build 40 foot combination door box cars at the Brainerd MN shops. And Evans and North American often used Pullman car parts.

Friends, Besides the IC cars, does anyone know of other PS-1 clones assembled by railroad shops from Pullman-supplied parts? Yours Aye, Garth Groff

Buffalo & Susquehanna hoppers in the as-built paint and lettering are coming from Accurail with their USRA hopper line. Here's what the models will look like.

Nevertheless, Dennis, I think "funky" is an appropriate term todescribe the appearance. I was inspired to see if other railroads did this and BINGO came upimmediately with B&O N-26 #233250 (USRA clone

Yes, the piping outside the end brace makes it very susceptible to incidental damage as "bashed" ends were common. The badly corroded panel looks like fire damage from thawing a load in its past. Has

Did car builders other than PS build PS-1 "clones?" I see this B&O car: http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/bo/bo468792alb.jpg which appears to have a USRE builder's stencil. Kadee offers a car in the
