Butch, This prototype DS boxcar ran everywhere. It is the definition of a 'box'. We plan to use in in conjunction with different urethane ends and roofs to produce a variety of modular kits.
If there are cars similar to these that are taller, we can with relative ease redrawn the sides and ends, thereby producing another car. Send me your phone number and when to call. Will answer questions directly. Reservations should be sent by email to me as a printable attachment to an email with your email, name, address, and phone number, Please liist your reservations in the order that I listed them to cut down on confusion.

Thanks for pointing it out. I'm in. Where do you pre-order and where can I get more info on the kit and the prototype? I assume it comes undecorated? Was it used by any Western Roads (UP, WP, SP, NP)?
