Jim, however for those of us who model the Milwaukee you can never have enough! The brass cars are great --I have several but they are obviously fairly expensive, hard to find and heavy in-train. As a kid my buddies and myself would hang around the little two siding yard when loading grain--I would bet 70% of the cars were ribbed sided after the mid 50's and the wooden outside Z braced cars started to disappear.
Those cars also had a very long lifespan in many cases. I found one in it's original paint scheme after roaming the area directly after the St. Paul convention. It still had it's running boards and full length ladders. And this was about 10 years after the SOO line takeover. So bring on the resin versions!
