Re: [CBQ] box car configuration

[Kenneth Martin <kmartin537@surewest.net>]

   Jim,
Looking at the BRHS "Freight car data sheet" on CB&Q USRA Double 
Sheathed Boxcars put out some years ago. The CB&Q never rebuilt them 
with steel sides, the only change was adding a fascia strip on the sides 
and a second grab iron on the left side. They were retired in the late 
40's early 50's. They had 5-5-5 ends and fishbelly underframe.

HO models:  Westerfield does a resin kit, and Accurail does it in 
plastic (no fascia strip but has second grab).
