RE: Intermountain
# 46051 6 Plywood Panel Boxcar Great Northern - Original # 46052 6 Plywood Panel Boxcar Great Northern - Mineral Red It was my understanding that the GN plywood side box cars were in the 10500-10899 series. Intermountain's kit (or is it RTR) #46051 is numbered GN 10009 while #46052 is GN 10093. Are those Intermountain numbers correct? Is my first sentence in error? In Message #69468 Frank Valoczy said, "I'd also be curious to know how one might model one of the plywood-sided cars like #44502." Is there still another number series for GN plywood side box cars? Intermountain shows two different paint schemes. Original means that the orange sides were applied when the car was built, right? When was the Mineral Red first applied? Is the door shown in the drawings correct? Can we expect the car to come with the doors in the drawing? Thanks in advnce for any answers. Gene Green |

Oops! I can already answer part of my own question. Apparently GN
series 44025-44999 were also box cars with plywood sides. May I assume these were also built by the GN? Gene Green |

It's usually better to err on the side of caution when dealing with Intermountain, as they have decorated and/or numbered what they consider a "close enough" series while completely bypassing a prototype that's a dead ringer for the model at issue on more than one occasion.

Hopefully someone could verify this info and give IMRC a heads-up so the production model comes out OK, as it's my understanding that they are receptive to constructive criticism. CJM ----- Original Message ----

These cars were built at the St. Cloud Shops of the GN. Tom -----Original Message-----
