Astute STMFC Modelers,
These box car ends have been in my parts box for years. Does anybody know the manufacturer? Danke! John Golden

Yep, Intermountain PS-1 ends. I just pulled the exact same sprue out of an IM 40998 kit to confirm.

Hi Ben, and Everybody,
I’ve been posting like crazy but found out I was on Permanent Moderate. I blame Tim O’Connor for that. Yeah, you Tim! Anyway I was paging through an RP Cyc recently and discovered those ends were used on CNW riveted PS-1s. They certainly are an oddity. The reason I’m asking is I’m considering kitbashing a B&O car for the B&O Modeler that has similar ends. Not exact, but similar. Thanks for the help! John Golden

John Huh, what? Are you joking? I have no authority here. Only Jeff & Mike can do that. Those PS-1 ends were used on everyone's riveted PS-1 box cars. :-D They were also applied to some "kit" box cars... (e.g. IC)

Or, is it simply an AAR boxcar with Pullman-Standard proprietary ends and roof? The AAR did draft new plates (drawing sheets) detailing those ends on the AAR standard car of the day. The sheets I saw were revised in 1962, just after the close of discussions here, but have had several earlier revisions. Dennis Storzek
