I'm looking for kits/models that will make either of the cars listed below. Any suggestions?
I received the following information from the ACLHS plus I found this great list of resin kits and and out of production.
From the stenciling diagram information, the following cars came with the slogan, “Route of the Robert E. Lee”:
10000 – 10199 new 1938 class AF, 50’ 1932 style (“X29”type) boxcar, double doors
11000 – 11999 new 1938 class AF1, 40’ round roof boxcar, double doors
22000 – 22199 new 1942 class AF2, 40’ round roof boxcar, double doors
This is not to say other cars did not use that slogan. It appears to have been in use from 1938 to 1944, as the next group of boxcars delivered in 1944 used “Route of the Silver Meteor”. Concurrent with this slogan was “Route of the Orange Blossom Special”, used on cars 14000 – 14999 and 17000 – 17999 (all 40’ single door “X29” 1932 type boxcars), from 1937 to 1954.
