Hmm... I know there were two different FW&D cars there, and I was going by
the earlier post and mistyped. The best thing is to call a hobby shop
(Caboose, Des Plaines or such) and see what they have. I saw two
different versions. I didn't take note of which two as I wasn't interested
in the specific cars. My interest is either a bit earlier or a bit further
west. But there are FW&D cars out now. There is also a Shadowlined car
out, for a Souther road, which one, I don't recall, as again, it was one
I'm not interested in. I noted the shadowlined image was nice, but that
was all I really looked at.
