Well, the C&EI cars answer the question "what does Tom want for Christmas?"  Please make sure I have the bill paid on the gray offset side ones before the 8 panel ones arrive.

Did you have to do DL&W and EL in the same run?

Apparently at least one of the SP went on to the Louisiana and Delta. So there's two I need.

Nice cars, but too modern for me also.  I will continue to be patient...

Cheerio!

The C&EI got a slug of the Public Service New Jersey used and travelled the line in that scheme until time for paint....so I'm getting those as well.Maybe a New Years Eve present as well? :D

I recalled the ex-Jersey hoppers, but not the specifics (still haven't found the 2 bay hopper issue of the Flyer, it is in one of these boxes someplace). Did they get patched reporting marks? Maybe I will tap the IRA.

I haven't seen pictures of them patched, but we can't rule it out either...
