AAR 1937 decal questions
Saw NH 32204 a AAR 1937 car. Checked the Steam Freight Cars web site. There is a photo of a car from that series. I have an extra IMWX undec model. Are there decals available for that car?

Re: OMI two dome tank car
OMI 3230 does not appear in Brian Marsh's book "Overland Models the first 10 years" which covers the period 1976-1986. That plus the 1990 cover date of the magazine ad should narrow down the time

Re: OMI two dome tank car
Thanks Craig! You've cleared up that mystery for the rest of us.
Was Arnt involved with any of the other Overland mystery tank cars?
I know the 8,000 gallon ACF cars have come up before

Re: OMI two dome tank car
Mr Wilson,
Any idea about when (nearest decade will do) Mr Gerritsen examined the car?
Point is: (1) The Overland ad gives a built date of 8/30. (2) Mr Cranstone states NIPX 6-8 appeared in the 7/32

Re: ACL Phosphate car
The Ambroid decals are wrong. They indicate class H-4 when they should read U-4
ACL & SAL HS
Trying to find you a shot in one of our issues.

Railroad Reporting Marks
I am looking for the railroad with the reporting marks, HPRA&S. I know about the HPT&D High Point, Thomasville & Denton. My 1953 ORER does not list these reporting marks.
Thanks,
Randy
