Randy;
How are they different from the ends EJ&E had on their 10’IH cars? Or the B&LE cars?
And why have NONE of these been done as plastic kits?
Thanks!

The B&O M-56 cars were built in May ‘52 with 10-panel sides, 8’ 3/5/5 Youngstown doors (counting corrugations). They had diagonal panel roofs and Duryea underframes, Champion-Peacock handbrakes and US Gypsum running boards.

Eldon,
**** How are they different from the ends EJ&E had on their 10’IH cars? Or the B&LE cars? **** The EJ&E per Hawkins) had 500 10’ IH cars with IDN-2 ends, the ends in the original picture are IDN-1 ends.
**** And why have NONE of these been done as plastic kits? **** Intermountain produces the IDN-1 ends for their 12 panel 10’ car.
The also produce a thin/3/4 with a full rolling pin for that top corrugation on the 3-panel portion of the end. I’ve yet to find uncover a 10’ prototype for that end.
Best regards,
