Once upon a time Omnicon sold kits that contained Enhorning / Wabash Valley shells with improved detail and paint by Tom Lennon, and parts, mostly NWSL I think, to make a drive unit.

If it is an interurban car I can usualy recognize it. I have unpainted A & B shells with a lot of Southwind parts. I want to sell them. They have been in boxes for over 25 years. I cannot do model work anymore.

John asked: "Are you looking for an A & B with a lot of BTS castings?" Well... having seen the WP F pics I sort of thought about a couple A unit shells for a pair of Frisco units. Thought maybe they could go onto a cut-down AM FP chassis? However, having just learned of the angled back end doesn't help. Now we're also talking cutting the back end off a spare AM shell... more cutting, filing, putty work, etc to get it onto the back of the Wabash shell. Getting more complicated in a hurry.
