My understanding is that it was used as a repair facility for tank cars after the NW Fri, 06 Nov 2009 03:39:22 GMT Ray Breyer http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wabashrailroadhistoricalsoc/message/5828 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wabashrailroadhistoricalsoc/message/5828 ... Hi Chet, Add Santa Fe and Alton to the list, and MAYBE GM&O. I've got one of each of the Alton and ATSF cars, as well as a couple of the Q cars. I sold off Fri, 06 Nov 2009 02:54:24 GMT gary roe http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wabashrailroadhistoricalsoc/message/5827 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wabashrailroadhistoricalsoc/message/5827 Victor, The only kits I have are the Wabash steel side, and undecorated wood side, so I don't really know which roads came with which body "style".

Victor, I can't recall all the road names, but I recall a L&N, CB&Q, and B&O with the wood sides. The B&O car was painted black.

So what other roads did they offer identical to the Wabash woodsided cars if I can't find an undec to paint into Wabash pre1956?

It's just that they did not paint the composite car in Wabash......for Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:08:40 GMT wabash2813 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wabashrailroadhistoricalsoc/message/5823 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wabashrailroadhistoricalsoc/message/5823 Thanks Chet. I wes under the mistaken impression that they did both versions.

Victor, Unfortunately for those modeling the Wabash prior to 1956, Proto 2000 did the Wabash cars with the rebuilt steel sides. According to the N&W Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:40:29 GMT wabash2813 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wabashrailroadhistoricalsoc/message/5821 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wabashrailroadhistoricalsoc/message/5821 On these cars is there any difference in the kits other than the paint and lettering? If so, which roads were the same as the Wabash cars?

Lenny, The car is one of the 48 or 49000 series cars with the 12 foot door openings. There is also one at the museum in North Judson, Indiana.

However, I think Dave and I qualifed out statements with "may have never" and not with a absolute. But I certanly agree it is a possibility.
