Thanks to all who responded to my inquiry. After all your help with my research it is clear that none of these models, whether Sunshine, Westerfield or Accurail, are correct for the SLSF cars I need

Rich, You have confirmed my impression. Thanks. Gene Green

Ambroid Pro-weld? It's still available out here in NY. Micro-Mark sells "Same Stuff" which is intentionally packaged similar to Ambroid and it works too. Brian J. Carlson, P.E. Cheektowaga
