This is a follow-up to SJCOOL:s post about the Mopac ACF cars. After the second world war, there was a series of cars done by American Car and Foundry with Corr-Tenn steel underbodies and riveted alumiinum superstructures. There were two series of coaches done for the MoPac/T&P which were copied by the Kansas City Southern, another road which liked the subtle art deco portholes. These cars went to CNJ and LIRR after passenger service ended on the orginal owners. With Walthers sides being separate from the rest of the car, a reasonable model could be done. I would also like to see the similar riveted cars of the Wabash (operating with the UP) and the L&N which had "traditional" washroom windows. I understand there were other roads as well. I can provide technical data should anyone be interested--- ACF appararently had modular standard side panels with two large and one small window with a seam running from top to bottom, a washroom side panel with the buyer's choice of windows (large, small, porthole, etc.), and a three large window side panel.
