For those who might be interested, I've attached photos of some of the Ace conversions.
One is the house car floor and one type of flat bolster (there were three for different truck to end spacings). The second shows the gondola conversion bolster in place on an AF gon. The third shows end views of an AM gon to the left, the AF car with the Ace conversion in the center and a Flyer conversion with home built bolsters to the right. Pieter E.

I strive for better all the time, but it does not mean I will throw away something I've built in the past with lesser quality detail parts when better detail parts come along. It only means I will no longer BUY the old, inferior parts when the NEW, better parts become available. The fact that I am willing to convert old AF to scale should be proof of that.
