Paul:
This car looks to me to be the Accurail stock car that has been on the
market for awhile with other road names. I'm under the impression it is a
good representation of GN stock cars that were created in sizable quantities
(199) in 1957 from older boxcars. I have a factory lettered GN car I
reworked and it has a Murphy 5/5/5 end. The April 1970 ORER shows 170 cars,
series GN 56050-56248. GN also had some other series of stock cars created
about the same time frame that look similar.
Alas, I wish there were CB&Q SM-19Bs available.

Subject: [CBQ] Accurail Burlington Stock Car Kit In HO
Greetings, all.
Well after waiting many, many years for one of the manufacturers to come out
with one of these, I recently discovered this kit at my LHS the other
evening.
<http://accurail. <http://accurail.com/accurail/ART/4700/4723.JPG>

I'm curious if it is accurate at all for a prototype, Burlington car. If so,
which one and what year would it have been introduced and what era would it
have been used in?
Also, I seem to recall that Burlington stock cars I've seen photos of in the
past have the "Burlington Route" herald applied to the sides. Wonder why
this one doesn't, or was it an exception. Anyone know.
Thanks, all, for your comments on this kit and the prototype.
Regards,
