Bob, A car in the 92000 range is a normal car with a Murphy roof. The exception to "normal" is those Pullman proprietary ends. I have three %#&)@TRAINSTUFF kits for the Pacemaker box car. I plan to assemble the three and for at least one and maybe two by crafting Pullman proprietary ends. The TRAINSTUFF box car kits for the Pacemaker car could be the box car of any railroad that has cars with Superior doors, Murphy roof, and standard 4/5 ends.
I sanded down the ends on a PRS Erie-Lackawanna box car with 4/5 ends and created my own Pullman proprietary ends, used a Northeastern shallow round roof, overlaid it with strips of styrene for the PS-0 type roof. Did the same with the sides as well. I might cast some proprietary ends for the TRAINSTUFF cars and would have some spares left over. Let me know if you are interested. I don't plan to do a business on this but would have a few extras casted as well.

Mine is in the 92000 range and I also stand corrected--it doesn't have the Viking roof. I had purchased one at the same time for a CNW car. Do you have a source for the Pullman ends--Standard Railway ?? Bob Werre Bob, I think I purchased two of those cars from PRS back when, and I noticed that at the Chattanooga, Ron still had a batch of the cars for sale. Two problems with the cars he did: One car was lettered in the 90000-series. Problem is that the 90000-series consisted of 50 cars that were so-called PS-0s, had radial roofs, Pullman proprietary ends, and nine welded panels on each side of the door. The cars Ron had numbered in the 91 or 92000-series are closer to correct. Problem there was that those cars also had Pullman proprietary ends, rather than the standard 4/5 dreadnaught. No CGW steel car ever had a Viking roof, and the two cars I purchased did not have that feature in the kits either. The car I have in the 90000-series I will simply renumber into the 91 or 92000-series. The other one I have built and will leave the ends. It’s not real close but one cannot fuss about everything. If it were not for Ron we would not have much of what we have. Tom
