"
The Stanray subsidiary status is mentioned in the 1961 Cyc, not in 1953. I cannot find anywhere in the history of Abex
that they ever acquired Standard. Can you direct me to a source, Tim?"

Just a reminder, this list is a STEAM ERA list. I will repeat my original point: I believe Standard Railway Equipment was not Stanray in our era. If anyone can show otherwise, please do.

But I just use "SRE" personally. It's shorter. :-)

Was "SRE" actually the only manufacturer of "rectangular panel" and "diagonal panel" roofs? Or were these patented designs leased
out to others?

Standard Railway Equipment didn’t start terming themselves “Stanray” until the early 1960s, so this is an anachronistic term for these cars.
