There was no connection at all, To my knowledge. I do not know what the original owner (who machined all the dies) had in mind. I knew 3 of the 4 owners but no one ever said anything.

The conversion floors are exactly the same as the Rex scale underframes but with the mounts for Kadee HO couplers, just like the Ace bolster conversions, all of which leads me to wonder what connection (there must have been one) there was between the two companies. And since these are my first hands-on exposure to Rex cars, what AB brake components were designed for them? Were these available separately? Anyone on the list have some of the brake casting sets they'd be willing to sell me? Jace Kahn General Manager Ceres & Canisteo RR Co./Champlain County Traction Co.
