Tom --

Well, you could have asked me.  Your article did touch very briefly on 
the autorack.  There are no pictures of the car -- just the barest 
description of doing the car.

FYI, I built two bi-level 89' autorack cars from two of these Lionel 
tri-level cars.  I simply resectioned them and used nearly all the 
parts.  I filled in the side sill gap with horizontal strips cut from an 
AF gondola.  Bob Jackson is their proud owner.

We were speaking about converting the Lionel autorack to S.  Dick Karnes of
the NASG's library located my article as being

"Convert A Standard Lionel Box Car To S "
S Gaugian, September/October 1993 page 18
( BOXCAR, "HAWLEY, THOMAS", KITBASH, LIONEL, CONSTRUCTION, FREIGHTCAR, S,
SGA )

I think it was about more than just the 50 foot boxcar, but I'm not sure and
my Gaugians are not organized.  Can somebody see if I touched on the
Autorack?
