peter:
if i'm not mistaken, you would have to use archer "rivets", to achive
the "acf" riveting pattern?
also since mot of these pictures are on he small size, do you happen
to know the "ih",
lastly, if we went with a prs shell, we would lose the upper door
track detail?
thanks

Speaking of conversions, here is one that has become possible in S
with the new DPH kit.

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?

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

The reality is that I have received my money back for the purchases

getting my 6 cars some time in the next few weeks. What I am
actually looking forward to even more is the Fowler boxcar, in flat
kit form.
