Hello Mr. Turner,

Unfortunately, neither of our undec PS-2s would be a direct suitable match for the SOU PS-2s. The Southern had 3 Pullman lots of these hopper cars and all of them have the much less common "narrow" hatch spacing. If someone can find a good photo of the Central of Georgia PS-2s repainted in the Southern scheme then we could produce a SOU hopper or you could use either of our undecs for a repainted C of G hopper in the SOU scheme, since the C of G had a series of PS-2s in both the channel and rib side body styles.

Now that Kadee has released the undec PS-2s, which would be appropriate for one or more of the SOU fleet? According to the KD site:
8201 has build dates from 57-58 and has notched roof hatch covers, hat rib sides, and box defect card holder. 8601 has build dates from 54-56 and has strap roof hatch covers, channeled sides, and box defect card holder. The earlier car fits my modeling period better. I have stared at several photos and am baffled. TIA. Mike Turner Simpsonville, SC PS: Then we get to the required changes... :)

Wow. I did not expect a reply from Kadee on this list. Now the hunt begins for a "good" photo or several. Thank you. Mike

Thank you. ---> Especially one that basically said "Neither one of our products is correct for what you want." That is commendable for a manufacturer to do. Thanks Sam! Take Care! Brian R.

Yes. Kadee is building a good reputation building accurate models and giving correct information. At least with me.

If Kadee is not going to do the narrow spaced hatches (and they did not say either way), does anyone know a source of Kadee roofs and/or hatches? I scanned their parts lists and did not see a candiate. Cutting and transplanting a few hatches should occupy a few hours. :) Mike Turner Simpsonville, SC GCRDS@... wrote:
