TT scale trains and models

I make it much too easy for you guys. Rob Well as soon as you mentioned Richard I knew it had to be either SP or Cotton Belt! And there's a list of all the owners of all the 40 and 50 foot PS-1 owners on Steam Era Freight Cars that had SSW cars listed with a date of 1956, so the era fit. I'm actual...

Hello Al! We have now two EL car numbers. Or a series between them? :wink: Yes! The series was the 844xx but not all of them got the grey paint.
