If they are the 2500 series reproduction cars I believe they are Lionel parts. If anyone can chime in on this please do.
Good Luck!

Lionel, Williams, MTH, Phoenix, and Weaver used the same parts.
thanks i appreciate the information and will try on Monday to contact those mfg's.

tried wbb, mth & lionel. no luck whatsoever. woman at lionel suggested traindoctor.com. called and they apparently can help. ordered 4 ends and we will see when they arrive.

Burning question here: are the ends scale size?

i do not know how to answer the question. i do not have the ends yet. the cars are 85 ft. from ok engines with the correct window placement. the other ends are williams and appear to be scale. i did use both ends from old williams for my silver meteor train. i am presuming the new ends with side doors will be the same type, but until i receive them, who knows.

The Lionel Budd car ends appeared to be scale. Clark Benson used them on his extrusions. The real question is whether the OK extrusions are Budd or Pullman - both are probably ten scale feet wide, but the similarity may end there.
