SAL stock cars

[Denis F. Blake]

Accurail has announced the production of a stock car in HO scale. I have sent them photo's of the Seaboard cars in hopes of getting them to do them. However, a bit of research has showed that the SAL cars were bascially SAL B3 or B5 boxcars with with wooden slats instead of solid sides. I am thinking that these cars can be modeled using the Red Caboose 1924 style body as a starting point. I think RC now offers these cars with the correct ends and it would simply be a matter of replacing the sides with "wooden" slats and then installing the outside bracing as well. I am going to work on one of these and will let you guys know how it turns out.
