about 6 unbuilt kits and I'd love to know what running boards, handbrakes, and trucks to use on any of the 12 panel cars for GN as well as SP&S. I know there was more than one group of cars with slightly different details. Tim O'Connor -------------- Original message ----------------------

I can accept that in concept but I do not know which were the 12 panel cars. Looking at an equipment book I see a lot of cars built right around the same era. Some are 3727cuft, some are 3715cuft, some are 3775cuft. There is one series built during the war that is 3712cuft. Need a point of focus here. Looking at this one page I see 40'6" cars with a single 6'0" sliding door that were built between 1927 and 1959. I'm sure many of these were rebuilds on old underframes. How about a little sniff of brakeshoe smoke so I can pick up the trail? Russ ----- Original Message -----
