    I noted with interest that Atlas has announced N scale models of USRA boxcars, originally wood sheathed rebuilt with steel sides, including Texas and Pacific numbers 80282,81142
    Texas & Pacific
    My 1954 EqpReg lists 80000-80553; 81000-81425 779 cars.
    1971 EqpReg p.695-701 7 cars surviving within this number series.

    I shot a picture of what appears to be a USRA rebuild--
