Andy, as a former operator on John Allen's G & D, I wonder if you can recall what make of kits the majority of John's kit-built cars were ? Were they Mantua, Varney, Ulrich,......were there any MDC or Athearn??? I THINK I recognize some Mantua cars, but John was such a master photographer, it's hard to tell for sure. ( I look at all his published photos again & again, and marvel at how those big ol' Baker couplers virtually never show in the picture..! ) I re-read everything I have on the G & D over the holidays, including Linn's great book. The one thing never covered in the articles I have, was his choice of kits, and as I recall at least half the freight car fleet was kits, as John's time for scratchbuilding cars was limited after the move to Cielo Vista, due to layout building and operating. Thanks & regards, Mike
