Speaking of conversions, here is one that has become possible in S with the new DPH kit. http://www.trainlife.com/magazines/pages/155/11262/january-2003-page-48 The model (in HO as it would be in S) is an approximation, The SAL B-6 was an AAR 1932 design car, but with plate ends and flat roof like an X29. It should be taller and have different rivet patterns on the sides, but this version fills in reasonably well. An X29, PRS 10 IH Youngstown doors, PRS underframe with AB brakes, some strip styrene and decals would do it. A slightly better rendition would use the PRS body and sides with the X29 roof and ends. That would have the correct rivet patterns. Maybe Ron could put the required parts in a box as a conversion kit?

The Fowler will open up a wealth of possible conversions for Steam Era cars. I can't wait either.
