Folks;
There is currently no kit for the earlier Stanray 3-piece roof, although the
Athearn cover does represent well a <50' version of same.

My cover drawings have lots of details on them, so building one has got to
have been a challenge for the folks at MC. I can't wait to see them in
person!

Those ECW covers have been out for several years. They should fit
any modern 52'6" gondola. The MC cars shown at Naperville had 3
very distinctly different styles of covers. The PRR car was
spectacular, but the CB&Q covers were very interesting too. I
look forward to those kits.
