The A-M car is a shortened (72') version of an RPO- baggage car that was probably full-length on the prototype. There is too much to change for a good rep. DJE

What ATSF had in great numbers were baggage cars in stainless steel of about the same length used for mail storage. I hope Ron Bashita could be prevailed upon to do the baggage cars , which would work with scale. William E.

Athearn made them in HO and N, now they can be had in S the same as any other cars from USP and through The Supply Car system. Save me two numbers in the 510-516 range. Supposedly SF sold some to NH for use in mail and package service on some of their trains. DJE
