I am in need of some help from the SLSF modelers in the group.  I am preparing to model two cars each from the 9500-14 series and the 9300-14 series. Where I need the help is the following: Does anyone have shots of both series? The pictures I have found online (http://canadianfreightcargallery.ca/cgi-bin/image.pl?i=slsf9313&o=slsf and http://www.railgoat.railfan.net/other_cars/slsf_cars/slsf_number/009500-009514.htm) are not enough detail for what I need. I also could use so advice as to the right stirrup step for these cars. Am I also correct that the Microscale set 87-149 would be the correct set for lettering these cars? Thank you for any assistance that can be provided.

 

Sorry, too modern for me.  You could ask at Frisco.org

The car numbers in BN of two SLSF number series are:

SLSF 9300-9314 > BN 355245-355259
SLSF 9500-9514 > BN 355241 (167XLI) & 731000-731014 (167RBL)
depends on "Burlington Northern Freight Cars Today"

The pictures found on the internet are BN 355246 and BN 355259. In the photo book "Pullman-Standard Color Guide to Freight Equipment" SLSF 9512. James Kinkaid said "(the 15 cars) were an add-on to a 100 car order for the UP." UP 462100-462199 (BI-90-3)? I hope these help you a little.
