(Spill over from bbfcl, but these cars make the cutoff of STMFC.)

For those with a taste in mutant Rock Island rolling stock, Twin
Star Cars will introduce HO scale resin kits of the 50 AC&F "Adapto"
COFC cars built for the Rock Island in 1956:

He needs to make the containers for these unusual flat cars too. I hope
you'll notify us when they are available for sale.

Check the photos on Twin Star Cars site, as well as the ones in the RITS
message. You'll have your answer.

Brian, I checked the Twin Star Cars site again. I didn't see any mention of
container models and the kit is listed as planned. What answer was I
supposed to find there?

Show the preproduction Adapto with two convert-a-frate containers. He is
considering other loads as well.
