Matt, thanks for the link. My order has been placed :-) As it happens I also need some CNJ transfers - CDS sets 119, 120 and 268 - all of which are no longer in stock at TMR. They are also out of

The El Paso & Southwestern had some Ingoldsby "dump" cars, series 12500 to 12569. I am at work today so I can't check to see if any of those managed to make its way to the Southern Pacific in 1924. Or
