The prototype is a mid seventies ('75 - '76) ACF plate B Railbox. If
you are refencing photos, the number series starts at 10,001.
Because the Plate C cars are more useful (larger), a lot of these
cars were divested to Railbox owning roads.
The carbody is quite accurate. Add DA stirrup steps, new floor,
brake gear, End crossover walks, and soon to be released SSA airhoses
and you have a start. Oddball can supply decals, (I think we might
have done some too) and you should be in freight car modeling heaven.
