Eddie, I'm not sure where drawings can be found for these cars. We
know Ken sent you the folios. There were slight variations between
the three variants.
There are also the steel sides with wood roof/floor kits made some
time back that also show up from time to time - but I don't know
about their availability down under. If you want, I can look
tomorrow for photos (St. Charles, Railroadiana show). Not sure
though what specifically your interest in the car is. Send me a
note before tomorrow morning (my time) and I'll see what I can
find. I'll take a look today and see if anyone has a good side shot.
I think I owe you something anyway.....
