Has anyone had experience building the Cannonball Car Shops Express 
cars/WW II troop cars (kit 9704)? I model 1967/68 and was thinking 
of building some. Were they still in common use in 67/68 as express 
cars? 

Also, could someone help me out as to how/when these cars were used? 
Would a train with an E8 and several of these cars be an appropriate 
train for my era (I seem to remember seeing a picture of a train 
like the one I described in a book)? Were they scheduled trains or 
ran as needed? Or would the express cars just be spliced in on a 
regular scheduled passenger train?

BTW, my layout is based on the line from Chicago to the Twin Cities 
(La Crosse area).
