Special
Edition Car No. 33
The Society is
proud to announce GM&OHS Special Edition Car #33, our
Front Range Products 40' boxcar with aftermarket 10 foot (Accurail
or Details Associates) doors for absolute authenticity! As
you know, the FRP line has not been produced for over a decade.
However, the Society was able to secure 200 undecorated kits for
this project. These cars are prototypically accurate, as well as
highly detailed, yet very easy to assemble in one evening for an
outstanding looking model.
We have chosen four
representatives of the 24000 series of rebuilds for this offering.
All of the cars are dark green with aluminum roofs and white
lettering but each car represents a different rebuild date from the
1966-1970 period. Though at first glance they all appear to have
the same scheme, each car is unique with its lettering style and/or
placement, return route information, type of door (corrugated or
paneled), and length of ladder (half or full).
Car no. 24057
has its roofwa1k, full ladders, a 4-66 rebuild date, 10 foot
Superior 6 panel door, a slightly slanted, skinny "DF" insignia and
return information to MP Agent, KC, Mo.
Car no. 24171
has a bare roof, half ladders, a rebuild date of 8-68, 10 foot
Youngstown door, a medium thick "DF" logo and return route
information to Meridian, Miss.
Car no. 24261
is also less its roofwa1k, has half ladders, a rebuild date of 9-70,
10 foot Youngstown doors, a large Pullman Standard style "DF" logo
and return routing to Beaumont, Miss.
Car no. 24284
has the same features as no. 24261, however, the rebuild date is
12-70 and the car has a return routing to Philadelphia, Miss.
Several dozen cars
from the 24000 series lasted into the late 1980's, so even the ICG,
CSX, NS and post MP, UP fans out there can have these cars on their
layouts. Only 50 sets are being produced so don’t miss this
opportunity to acquire a quartet of these beauties! We expect
this terrific set of cars to sell quickly, so get your order in as
soon as possible, and thank you for your support of this Society
project.

Special
Edition Car No. 32
MDT Non-Leased Version -
Supplemental Release
MDT did not lease all of these cars to second party
railroads such as the GM&O. Since the artwork was essentially complete for this MDT
non-leased version of the steel stage ice reefer, the Society decided
to offer to our fellow modelers of other railroads a car that also
hasn't been offered by any major manufacturer. As above, this
three car set is $70.00 postage paid. Three road
numbers are included (9317, 9341, 9522), all correct for the non-leased
status of these cars.
In addition, for our New York Central
friends, we have had our graphics contractor create the NYC logo and
appropriate return routing information as
decals. These are included with every Supplemental Car order so
that modelers may make one, two or all three of their non-leased cars
into NYC leased cars.
