----- Original Message ----- From: Michael A Scivoletti In the S Scale America catalog #1 on page 9, the Evans 53' Insulated Boxcar is shown with what looks like an arched roof. . . . . . . . . was this car originally built during the roof walk era and then converted . . . . . . . . . ? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I wonder if you are speaking of the Evans RBL, sometimes known as the Blue Island Reefer. There is a three-part article in Mainline Modeler - July, August, September 1996. The drawings show a peaked roof and no running board.
They are said to have been made from 1969 - 1977. "Modern" for S gaugers.
