For those who are interested in SAL round-roof box cars, published 
photos, showing Classic Era paint schemes, can be found in the 
following references:

RailModel Journal, Jan 1996, p.48
S/Sn3 Modeling Guide, April 1996, p.18

Also, be advised that Sunshine Models has produced models of 
the SAL round-roof box cars in HO scale.  The data sheet issued 
when the kits were produced provides some prototype information, 
including:

11000-series and 22000-series double-door cars built 1940 & 1942, 
1450 cars total

19000-series single-door cars built 1941, 500 cars total

The patterns for Sunshine's HO resin kits were probably made by 
Frank Hodina, who supplies a prolific output for Sunshine's benefit 
(and the benefit of HO modelers).  If anyone out there is thinking 
about developing their own skills so they can develop master 
patterns for S-scale resin kits, you could do worse than to emulate 
Mr. Hodina.  He is always in attendance at the Prototype Modelers 
Seminar which is held in Naperville, Illinois every year in late 
October, and he is very easy to talk to about his techniques.

I consider Naperville to be the sinlge most important event of the 
year for anyone intersted in prototype modeling in any scale.
