I believe those ore cars were produced by members of the Delaware Valley club and marketed by Frank Titman¡ªlots of hand workmanship involved.? A fellow at this year's S Fest had several of those kits priced quite reasonably, and I was tempted, but I already
have far too many projects for the amount of time God gives me (including the PVC sandhouse kit), so common sense prevailed.

Okay Dan, another brain twister of a different nature--the club also put together those ore jennies too--am I correct about that??
There are two of them down here, and I also had two NIB for some time till it was evident that SHS was making their's.
Also back to the sandhouse, Sometime past one of our guys had a mirror'ed (backward?) set of blueprints of the sand-house.? It might have come from my acquiring it, but I gave it 'back' to that somebody!? One was enough.?

Jace:
The sand house kit you purchased was indeed first offered by my old club, the Potomac Valley S Gaugers. ?I remember when I was in high school in the 1960s, a PVSGA meeting was held in my parents' home and we traced the kit walls out using ball point pens.
The sand house was indeed an original Norfolk Southern structure located at their small yard in Norfolk, VA. ?The kit plans ( I have attached the only image I have of the kit plans) were probably drawn by PVSGA member Wayne Shipp.
i cannot remember when Frank Titman picked up the kit and continued producing it as part of his line of structures.
