.........and that is where they will stay; locked away, my friend.................... :-X

Yeah, if I pinned my hopes on Walthers... but I am a pessimist, so I know that won't ever happen. Someone will do them sooner or later, just a question of when and if we're all still here  :-X

And they aren't just Procor cars, so the appeal should be there:

This is also a sooner or later, but not by Wally:

I'd like to see these as well. That being said, Wally has them as built in '72. That number series isn't in the CN Color Guide, but 606000-606349 series was built in '71, 607800-607899 series was built in '70, and 608000-608349 series in '69, all by Marine Industries (they seem to be working backwards in number series as they move onward in build dates). Where the Hawker Siddeley's built in '72 or even owned by CN? They do seem to have a different stake pocket placement than the Marine cars.
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

HS or MIL, I don't care which get done. The cars are similar enough that one or the other, I wouldn't complain.
