Re: [CBQ] WTB Ambroid Burlington insulated 60' box car

[<prome1@cox.net>]

Hi Joe,

Yes I have one of these kits. I remember starting it but never finished it. I 
had applied sanding sealer and sanded the sides smooth before applying the 
vertical ribs. But I will have to dig out the model from the box it has been 
packed away in for many years. 

You can have it for free if you want it. You might also check with Frank over 
at Scale Rail, he probabely has several all built and painted and would part 
with for a modest fee.

I will go look for it this afternoon, but I would not be able to meet you until 
tommorrow or Saturday due to work. I am in Omaha, and can bring it over to you 
or meet you somewhere.

Thanks,

Paul
