Hi Stan -- The Airslides were a lot bigger than WWII era cars. Enough so that I traded my brass Airslide for a brass ACF covered hopper. While the car (early) was of the correct era for my railroad, it just looked way out of place. It must have loomed large on the real railroads, too.
Today’s trains are even bigger... Have fun! Bill Winans ---------------------- ....Legend has it that an S gauge personality helpfully suggested that the kit manufacturer shorten the height of the car to better match Flyer covered hoppers- and he did. Stan Stokrocki
