I still run an Ulrich box car. I bought it from Walther's as I recall, in the 1960's. But as I recall the outside Z bracing was pot metal though and not brass. It is one of my favorite models. Pat Wad

The two horizontal silver colored tanks shown right behind the tender are in the gondola or beyond the gondola? I can't decide. Pat Wade Santa Barbara, CA

The car on the loading ramp appears to have the steering wheel on the right, England? Pat Wade Santa Barbara

Sorry I will not make it to the swap meet. We have been prepping for a huge family weeding all week. Tomorrow is the day. Pat
