Wright Trak Models
Gary Wright does some outstanding work and his kits are excellent. Only problem is that the freight cars that he makes are outside the time perameters of this group. Only his cabooses are within the

http://www.wrighttrak.com/

their kits in person; has anyone here ever built
one of these?

Re: Bx37s
Andy, Red Caboose does not make a modified 1937 AAR box car! They
make the 1937 box car (4/5 ends. 10'0"IH). It sounds like you have
Intermountain's modified 1937 AAR box car (5/5 ends, 10'6"IH).

Re: Bx37s
Chet French mentioned the Red Caboose boxcar with a diagonal panel roof, R+3/4 ends, riveted sides, and five-panel Superior doors. That won't make a Bx37, Chet. They had a rectangular pattern (Murphy)
