After looking at lots of proto-photos, my opinon is the Con-Cor is a mixture of the Thrall and Greenville details, and as I remember, it's a little too short in hieght too. The wheelbase is all wrong, but the N-Scale Kits(former Alan Curtis) underframe will fix that. I did the Alan Curtis thing to one C-C, decided it wasn't worth the effort to do anymore...much like the C-C auto-racks. You can put lipstick on a pig.... :
Speaking of which. Any of you photo-etcher's get any calls for modern pig stock-cars? Seen a few up on the Trans-con line near Matfield Green, KS, and thought I'd like a couple. Another good etcher project would be a late Rock Island caboose. As many requests as I get for them, I might go into business assembling them...
