OK, here it is, the first completed Seaboard Air Line autorack model from Accurail. This is the bi level car. I will assemble the trilevel one this evening and post the scan here as well. http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?f=3&i=19285&t=19285 Regards, Denis F. Blake
Looks pretty good. How are the ladders and grab irons? They don't look to thick and out of scale in the picture. What is the build date on those cars? I checked in 'SAL: The Route of Courteous Service' and didn't find much on these cars or this kind of traffic. I know SAL had some hot TOFC trains, but I can't find where or when they used auto carriers.

The SAL rostered over 300 autoracks. The SAL was also fond of tacking the cars, if necessary, onto the rear of the Tidewater, a passenger train. Regards,
