Ertl USRA DS biox 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.

If you guys will let Clark get his cupboard bare, he can start on his Mother Hubbard [which could pull steam-era freight cars.]
Although I didn't know MStL ever had any... (second-hand from Hyman-Michaels?)

Clark can store some of mine too as long as he returns them built.

Clark,
From a very old post ... "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.

Two of the cars had Details West 4/4 square corner Dreadnaught ends

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.
