Thanks Jason,much appreciated. So much for Bing,Google, and Yahoo search engines .They were totally useless trying to find any centerbeams except models of and none of those were this type car.

The truck bolsters are to far out on the model (my fault) but if they were where they should be it would either require body mount couplers (My plan) or the long shank MTL trucks.

What other roads run these? How widely traveled are the AOK cars? Where they common in the US when CP owned them?

I've had that model of Stony's in my SW favorites for a while now and it's almost to the top of the list for a trigger pull

Stony's N scale version,the Z looks just as good. :D The bolsters are actually in the wrong place they should be just to the inside of the first vertical column

I've never seen one of these, but AOK centerbeams in general are very common in NS trains along the Big Sandy in West Virginia.
