There are shots of what seems to be two series of CB&Q composite SS cars in the RMJ article on the Accurail cars. http://www.trainlife.com/magazines/pages/144/10391/february-1993-page-17 132200 - 132249 - said to have been converted to stock cars in the 1930s, but another group with numbers in the 131000 series apparently weren't. This shot was from 1940. http://www.trainlife.com/magazines/pages/144/10395/february-1993-page-21 They were quite low-slung for reasons I cannot fathom because the caption below the photo has gotten muddled up. I am not sure if the Accurail one could be used to model this wagon, nor how long this series lasted in service. Any detail would be welcome. Benjamin __._,_.___
