Gang,
Following the end of the A1G period, the Roco tooling for the A1G 40 Foot Double Door Boxcars was reused twice.?? I have added tables to the A1G 2280 page to document this.? I have a number of these cars in the accumulation and hope to add some photos of these cars "soon."
First, Roco reissued the car under its own brand.? The roadnames are at least Wabash, New Haven, Great Northern, MKT "Katy", Canadian National and Baltimore and Ohio.
Then, Walthers marketed the Roco car, circa the mid 1990s.? The trucks are different -- all plastic including the wheels this time-- and there are end markings included.? The roadnames here were Union Pacific, CB&Q/Burlington, Santa Fe, Milwaukee Road, Great Northern and Chicago & North Western.? There were three different road numbers for each as far as I can tell.? I have all three Milwaukee Road cars.?
I'm still looking to document additional roadnumbers for the UP, CB&O, Santa Fe and GN releases.? I've checked Trovestar and eBay and done a general search as well which did get me farther than expected.? Anyone who can "fill in the blanks" let us know!
Cheers,
George
