actually over 30 years ago a company by the name of Lykens Valley made a kit for this car and Champ decals produced the decals. i built one at that time and if i can find it i will post a pic of it. the quality is not like the current ho version but on the same order as the quality craft/ambroid kits basically wood parts and white metal details assembled to look like the car.

as a side note lykens offered 89 foot auto racks,86 foot box cars a pfe mechanical reefer a hello dolly boxcar and a 89 foot trailer train flat with trailers. nice stuff for the time and if you replaced the wood with styrene even better.

picture of the big john to follow.....

falconservice i think we get think the point you want these made of aluminum like the prototype but what will the trucks and couplers be made of. what about other cars should they be made of steel and wood. i think most of us are happy to have models of the pieces we like whether they are brass plastic wood or even your favorite aluminum. after all who wouldn't want a brother love caboose yet they are made of plastic.
