<P>Wayne,</P> <P>Yes, I have a couple of kits for those waiting to be made up. That example is out of the last batch ever built in 1971. They were in service until the railways stopped carrying livestock in the 90s. The photo is dated 1985. Nominal 36 foot wagon.</P> <P>The "gadget" you noticed is the yard brake wheel. At least I think that is what you mean. A sort of a cross shaped thing - wheel without a rim? I must have a careful look at North American cars. They should have a yard brake somewhere. However, looking at photos in the MR October issue they are not obvious on any of the models.</P> <P>The straw is interesting. Bob Grech posted some photos of empty stock cars complete with straw. All the "experts" told him it was not prototypical. Must allert him to this photo.</P> <P> </P>
