Ertl USRA DS biox cars
|
Clark Propst <cepropst@...>
I'm in the process of clearing my cupboards of the last on my modeling projects.
I came across three Ertl DS USRA box cars still in their boxes and one without a roof. I remember using that roof on another project. Now, I need to know if any of these cars were re-roofed by any road? Or, were there clones with different roofs? Two of the cars had Details West 4/4 square corner Dreadnaught ends with them. I suppose I wanted to make more M&StL 52000 series cars. Anyone know of any pictures of these cars? I've already cut the ends off the Ertl cars, so I'm committed, or should be : ) I also found two different Terry Wegman PFE kits I have no use for. If anyone is interested in them please contact me off list. Clark Propst Mason City Iowa |

I can send some of my Sunshine kits to him for storage, as long as he promises to return them. 8^)

"A neat feature of this kit [Ertl] is that the roof is removable so that a load can be applied. ... this feature is excellent for those who would want to model the roofless NYC coke cars or the SP&S's pulpwood cars with extended sides (which you can't do easily with the Accurail kit)." Of course now the ends maybe incorrect. Regards, Bob Witt |

If you guys will let Clark get his cupboard bare, he can start on his Mother Hubbard [which could pull steam-era freight cars.]

Every good! The 52000 series box cars along with much of the 40s freight car roster came from H-M. The 52000 series box cars are a true kitbash. They were made from reefers! They stripped the reefer frames and built a USRA style body.
