When I returned to model railroading in 1993, I went to the DuPage County Fairgrounds swap meet in Wheaton,IL., the only railcars I had were from the Lionel Set may father purchased in 1956. I looked at the Roco gondolas and asked the dealer if Roco made stockcars and boxcars(sliding door and plug door), he had these cars available undecorated and I purchased what he had, the detailing was great. I purchased the plastic plugs from Andy Petersen at Petersen Supply and converted the trucks to Weaver Bettendorf journal bearing trucks. Over the past years, I purchased specific items from Andy and considered our conversations cordial with on time shipments.
