The ORER can help identify candidates, but you still need a photo or drawing to see if the rib count or ends match the model. The NEB&W Freight Car Guide says there were 2233 low side 40 ft gons in ACL series 90950 to 93199 as of 1949, all built in 1926. Unfortunately, they have nine ribs per side, while the Rex gon has 12, so they are stand-ins at best. A photo and drawing are in Trainshed Cyclpedia No 46 (reprinted from the 1931 CBC).
HO resin car maker Westerfield sells a range of ORERs from the 19th century well into the 20th on CD-ROM.
