Hello- I have been preparing a return to offering a select few resin HO box cars. The tooling for this HO box car was made over 20 years ago. I have enough parts for two of these WP box cars. I accept checks or money orders. With a small fee I accept PayPal. Contact me at <midcentury@...> of list please. Thanks, -Andy Carlson Ojai CA

Were these Bettendorf-built cars?

Eric, No Pullman, WP 15001-16000. A few hung on into the 1960s, mostly in plaster service out of Gerlach, Nevada, as series 26001-26125. Many were converted to stock cars, MW service, and the WP's famous single-sheathed cupola and bay-window cabooses. None are known to survive in original condition, but a mess of the cabooses are still around in preservation, on tourist railroads, and in use as vacation cabins. Yours Aye, Garth Groff 🦆

We have one of these, believed to be 2711 (as a work car) at Nevada State Railroad Museum, Boulder City... ours is believed to be last used as a rider car in the Elko wreck train... as such the end have been moved inward 2' or so creating platforms... windows were cut into the sides, and a water tank was added... Later it went to the tourist railroad at Heber Ut where the upper sheeting was cut away, making it a tourist rider car. We acquired it in a "lot" of equipment in 1993... and it has sat until this year. This year we have cleaned it up, replaced the arch bar trucks it was on when received with a set of cast steel caboose trucks, serviced and tested the brakes... It has a couple of burnt bearings which need to be rebabitted then it will return to service on our railroad.
