Bruce-- You credit me with knowing a lot more about these cars and underframes than I actually do! I don't know much about Duryea underframes, and I've still a lot to learn about B&O hoppers. Steve

There is also a revited car with those ends at Oelwein. Clark Propst

There is or was a CGW PS-0 at the museum in Boone, Iowa. Gene Green

When we used to ask, "why not prototype for -foot gondola and the 50-foot flat" our local hobby Shop owner (Dan at the Little Depot in Anaheim, CA) said, "because they fit in the box" referring to

Bob or Steve, I think many folks would appreciate seeing how to model this and would appreciate an article on how to get it close. You have the detailed knowledge and we would love to learn more

I've just bought some from Walthers. I don't if they have any left. Barry Bennett Coventry, England.

The drawings in Nehrich's article in MM 2/88 indeed include ends. Al Brown, Melbourne, Fla.
