Thought some of you might be interested to know that AM Hobbies is running a special run of WP Ribbed sides from Weaver. Bob sent along the photo below to me.

Nice compliment to the Milwaukee's I already have on order.

What is the "era", i.e. reporting mark dates, on this nice car?

HW I don't have that info. I'm sure Bob @ AM could shed some light on it for us though. bob@amhobbiesonline.com

Here is the info he provided to me.

Thanks. Maybe Bob can comment on this question so that everyone will get the answer. Thus, it may help him sell more cars.

HW I shot him an email.

Here is another pic he provided as a basis for color.

I didn't know the WP had bought ribside cars from the Milwaukee. Guess I'll have to call Bob and get one.

WP bought them second-hand in 1961 for their 9' doors and Spartan Easy Loaders specifically for appliance service (Amana IIRC).

Thanks Marker. That's just what I was looking for. That 1961 era lets me out, since I model mid 1950s. Thus, I'll just stick with the MIL cars.
