Run,
Mr. Wallet, run.  This would be the month that I feared.  Three SSW, two Conrails and a Southern for me...
Support fine modeling

Nice!  Little late for my modeling, however I sometimes push it ahead a few years.  Hope they do a PRR sometime.

I just saw a whole string of these cars at the scrapper ready to be cut up. They must be old school already.

These cars were first introduced in the 1960's, so those are now over 40 years old. Being pre-1976, their interchange life is only 40 years unless Rule 88 rebuilds, so they are limited to single line service only. Since only the "Big Three" need them, they are more valuable as scrap.
