 Jay: I'm surprised no one has mentioned LaBelle kits. They are just what you want in terms of time period and authenticy. Of couse there are draw backs. They are expensive, $20 to $30 dollars a kit less couplers and trucks. These are 'craftsman' kits so you will need or have to develope a relatively high level of skill to make them. Likely you have to buy them direct as they extend only 'short discounts' to dealers and are relatively low volume sellers. LaBelle makes a full line of prototypical freight and passenger cars which are fine as is or can be altered to suit. www.labellemodels.com/ for their rather 'clunky' web site. I also recommend you buy or borrow a copy of the 1905 Car Builders Cyclopedia, available on CD. Contains much information of use to you. Walthers carries them. Good Luck Randy
