I must have been asleep when these were issued. I have a few of Chad’s flats. What are these kits?

My C&WC kit is awaiting paint while I have not touched my NKP and L&N wood side gons. I model October 1955 and I think most if not all of Chad's "Combo Door" kits are too late for me. Can someone confirm this for me please?
I don't see it on his list but I know he has a flat car load in the form of 5-Inch Destroyer gun turret. I am not sure what class Destroyer is good for however. Bill Welch

I really like working with Chad. He did the Southern 53'-6" flat for us and the C&WC 40 DD boxcar as well. And a great job with the USRA rebuilds in conjunction with the Shake 'N Take project we were doing from Cocoa a few years ago.. Make sure you share the photos when you finish. Fenton Fenton Wells

Bill, the double door kits from Chad for the Milwuakee were built in 1958.

Just a note. Mask Island Decals have the decals for three versions of the flat cars, Milwaukee road combo door and the CW&C by Chad Boas.

Bill, If it is the 5 inch turret load displayed at CCB 2015, it is for a 5" 54 caliber turret used on the Forrest Sherman and Charles F. Adams destroyers from the mid 50s. They may have been used on other classes of ships after time stopped in 1960. Another load that would be useful for us WWII modelers would be a 5" 38 gun house either the single used on the Fletcher class, or the twin used on the Gearings, and almost any other naval vessel that was constructed with 5" secondary armament during the war.

That would be a sweet load John. I bet Chad would consider it if he can be furnished with drawings. Given that these would have armed destroyers, cruisers, battleships and I think flattops too, there would have been a pretty large number of these turrets.

Bill, I will put finding a good set of drawings on my list for stuff to find at NARA College Park. It's been a long time since I looked at any ship plans, but the info should be there. A little more digging should also reveal the suppliers. John Barry ATSF North Bay Lines Golden Gates & Fast Freights 707-490-9696 PO Box 44736 Washington, DC 20026-4736 From: "fgexbill@...
