Hi Jamie; Thanks for the reminder about the Ridgehill cars; I saw an excellent built up example at the Springfiled show on Bristol S layout, a couple of those are on my short list. The PRS car is no doubt comming, but it's been promised for several years. I also have one of the old Trainstuff SS kits, and the double sheathed ARA boxcar as well. The SS ARA boxcar is close to the B&M, and a similar BAR car. It is almost dead on for an SAL car in the 1931 Cyc. The sides (if molded in a newer resin) would be great with various ends and roofs for a number of cars - I'm investigating using my set with Dreadnaught ends and Earl Tuson's Murphy flat panel roof for a Frisco car.
