Group, Just now I was perusing a Greg Komar catalog for decals when I came across this interesting tidbit: Komar has decals for a PRR rib-side, two-bay open-top hopper. The company ordered or built 30,256 cars between 1905-1911, and they survived into the Sixties, some of them even getting what I call the three-dimensional keystone emblem.
The AM ribbed two-bay will make, for me at least, a satisfactory model of this car. With so many cars it is not improbable that they got around the country at one time or another. I had the AM undecorated car lying around and have finally found an appropriate road name for it. Yes, one will have to ditch the ladders and use grabs and create a vertical brake staff and wheel, but it's doable. Just a thought Tom
