I'd like to build this car in O. It was a 51 foot car and I'm hoping to find a wood kit that I can modify. Also, I'm looking for O castings, As usual, any and all help is appreciated. Thanks

Wabash Valley made kit for this car; keep your eye peeled as they do show up albeit somewhat rare in an unbuilt condition.
O scale castings for what?

I have an unbuilt Red ball, (Wabash Valley) but mine is HO. Wondering what castings are available for this car and if anyone has wood doors,ends, etc. Thanks, Jim
I have a not very well assembled O scale car built from the Wabash Valley kit. Only castings in it are the car bolsters and brake components. Rest of the car is all wood.
If you have the HO kit, you can just use the parts as templates and scale up the plans & parts to O scale. Car bolsters and brake components are readily available in O scale from PSC, Wiseman, and Scale City Designs.
