Another valuable resource covering the B&O cars include Railway Prototype 
Cyclopedia Vol 9.  Besides the 2000 M-53 cars previously mentioned (built 
1937-8,) another 1000 M-53A cars were built in 1941.  The similar M-15 rebuilds 
numbered 1470 cars.

Vol 13 of the Railway Prototype Cyclopedia is a great reference for SMMW's 
other planned release, the SAL "Turtleback" AAR box cars.
