I recently purchased an Atlas boxcar on eBay. It was advertised as a 50 foot car, Seaboard Air line. It is actually a 40 foot car, I measured it, single sliding door. It arrived in virtually like new condition but it is one of the old stock Atlas cars I think, plastic trucks and wheels with the big plastic plug holding them on the bolster. I can find absolutely 0 info about this car. It looks like a 1937 AAR version but I can't find a car number to match on any roster anywhere (181269) Did SCL or SAL or NS or anyone have one of these cars and what does this model represent anyway? I am going to convert it to Proto 48 with a set of trucks and parts from Protocraft and do a weathering job on it. I hate people pointing out that the railroad represented never actually owned one of these after I spent all the time. Besides, I just like doing things correctly. I've spent a week on the internet to no avail so far. HELP!!! Thanks in advance
