I was leafing through a Model Railroader from October 1979 and noticed a Paint
Shop article on making a CB&Q box car from an Athearn 40' AAR kit. The only
modifications were CB&Q decals and Allied Full-Cushion trucks, same as on troop
sleepers. The cars were numbered 12000-12399 and were built in the CB&Q
Havelock, NE, shops in 1941. This would be an easy kitbash. What color
would the trucks be painted? Why were Allied trucks used in the first place -
what type of cargo? When would the Allied trucks no longer be used? I model
late 1940s and early 1950s.
