    What year did the Frisco obtain these ACF cars? Does anyone know?

    Thanks!

    Manny -

    Frisco 40ft outside braced box cars, SLSF 126000-126999, built by ACF in 1912. Rebuilt by the Frisco in 1926. Andrews trucks.

    Here's a diagram - sorry about the quality. Note at the time (about 1953, I think) only SLSF 126016-126994 are indicated as still being around.

    Does anyone know if the Accurail 40' OB Box Car 6 Brace is accurate to the Frisco or is it just a generic? I don't have the car to take measurements on. Any insight would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Manny

    I don't know if this car is an exact match or not, but it's "pretty close." I think it's good enough for the "Three Foot Rule."
