Gary,
Bud and I had an accurate count back in September or so. We will have to deterine what the count currently would be if we were to take this approach. We are still looking at possiblities, so keep us in mind. I guess you would have to ask your pattern maker whether he wishes to go to the trouble of fashioning patterns for what is most certainly a unique box car. For that matter, whether he has access to detailed inforamtion about all relevant parts incuding the underframe. I am not sure if the underframe differs dramatically from that found on a typical 1944 AAR box car.

If you can come up with a firm proposal I'd be happy to take a look at it and give you a cost estimate. We have hooked up with a really fine caster and he has done good work with the masters I have made. Gerry Siegel
