Looks like an ex-Rock Island express and mail storage car. Either their 4300-4324 series (ACF 1958), or 4385-4399 series (ACF 1956). This info is from "Rock Island Color Guide To Freight And Passenger Equipment" by Hile, Hickcox and Miller, Morning Sun, 1996. Tom
ok well here it is i recently posted a want ad on craiglist for trains while i was in springfield and this guy sent me a email said he had 100 cars, 14 engines and 50 unbuilt buildings that were 25 years old and still in the boxes except the buildings and a 20 year old set from sears still in the box and wants to sell as a package deal (more than i could prob pay) and said if serious about buying that he could send a cd with pics for $10.00 said he use to send them free but never heard from them he lives at the lake of the ozarks and if you know of any body interested i would be more than willing to forward the message i know your into n scale but thought you might know someone craig
I don't know anyone that's intersted, but that information here on this board might stir up some interest?? Tom
I have heard alot of bad things about Craigs list. I wouldn't trust the guy. This all sounds like a good way to lose $10 bucks to me. Just my $.02. Bob Wintle Parsons, Ks.
