Ha! Well, that is just silly now. Latitudinal means "width" and Longitudinal means "length". No wonder we are all nuts. ------------------- RJ Dial Mendocino, CA

Folks,
Um, Pierre DOES make these 😉 I have used them on several recent builds including the 2020 SnT Bx-34. The set also includes brake step brackets and his really neat supports for the ends of the running boards as well

Good point about the running board brackets.
Of course I was focused on the somewhat unusual lateral support brackets. I think I might have to go with shim brass strips to get them to look right and have some structural strength.

That is an excellent photo John. It highlights the 3-piece running board supports found on so many boxcars. Here in 2020 we are still using big square blobs on our models for supports. I wish I had the metal-etch chops that Pierre Oliver has. ------------------- RJ Dial Mendocino, CA

Here is a photo of one of the cars renumbered with a stores department stencil. The Frisco Lines coon skin emblem in this 1947 photo matches the 1940 lettering in the previous photograph. John Sanders

I've attached what I've got, Marty. I "think" this is a shot from 1940 St. Louis. It's as close as I can come (these cars are pretty elusive). Ray Breyer Elgin, IL

Anyone have a prototype photo (or reference to one) of these cars as they would have looked in the 1930s? The Westerfield kit (their no. 11251) has a couple of builders photos, but would like to see a prototype picture before I move forward with this car. Thanks! Marty McGuirk
