SANTA FE STDCK CAR QUESTION

WILLIAM PARDIE
 

Thanks Charlie:

I hope that you are surviving the horrendous  weather we are having this year.

I'm guessing that I will have to move the end placard  and add end ladders.

Bill I looked harder at car Ft-N 59150 and it does still have the drop bottom doors and probably the roof hatches. It was only upgraded with letter boards on the side.

I purchased this slight out 0of focus (Sorry) Westerfield Santa Fe stock  car a while back.  The builder did a great job on the car, however, I want to update it with the later lettering scheme. I have a question before jumping in.  Many ( if not aol) cars in this series) were equipped with roof hatches and drop bottom floors for haling coke when cattle were not in season.  My question is  “ did these cars retain this feature throughout their lifetime>”

I appreciate any help:

Bill on the Sk-N when upgraded the roof hatches end dump doors were removed, but a few kept those upper side boards. Car 59533 got a radial roof not sure if they all did. Here is car 59150 on 
9-1-1948.
