Looks like this as a new kit (see below) . I had started it, but then put it away. I suspect that was because the instructions, which likely 100% complete, but is only 50% understandable in a step-by-step or car-by-car process. Setting some goals to clear out started but not completed is one of them. Researching the history of this car(s) it appears to have been the leading innovation in mixed length container trains. I believe some of these are still running. Information Needed – I want to sketch out the dimensions of this car and wanted to start with the wheelbase, but searching for 2 days on google/bing yields zero results. Has anyone seen drawings of these below? I’ve measured the models themselves using just a scale ruler, but this could be off 3-6 inches. In my reassessment of this project, I think it will be faster to design the detail parts since one part is used on multiple cars. Atlas has an O scale version of this and images that came up in my search it looks like the pivoting braces/blocks are working. Is there one of those in the club? <img id="m_1593569237181547571Picture_x0020_3" style="width: 8.4916in; height: 5.2333in;" src="cid:3be1dbe3-06fc-4a3a-9fe9-695fddb9ac5c" width="815" height="502"> A-LINE KIT HO SCALE <img id="m_1593569237181547571Picture_x0020_4" style="width: 6.25in; height: 2.2in;" src="cid:a441e6d5-4f94-4c38-8f07-48142a7d2713" width="600" height="211"> ATLAS MODEL –O SCALE ATSF ECONO STACK I don’t know if the new assembled cars come with revised detail parts, I figure once you get the detail parts, getting the body shape is a piece of cake. <img id="m_1593569237181547571Picture_x0020_5" style="width: 8.3416in; height: 9.4833in;" src="cid:85f35541-3507-45b5-b049-ae194403cdb4" width="801" height="910"> I have close up photos of the Sea-Land cars. I came across these one day between Livermore to Pleasanton. So I came back later with camera to take photos. After shooting about an entire 24 shot 35mm roll, I noticed a white pickup truck and a man walking to the tracks, then I noticed on the pickup truck Railroad Police. He told me to leave and stay away.
