I have bought a set of Impack carsa by Athearn on ebay. I have the 3 middle cars and the two end cars. These are undecorated and I have no Car specific data nor can I find any. I am looking for CAPY Load Lmt etc. Also An other data that is on the car. I do own Kalmbachs Intermodel book by Jeff Wilson but cant really read any information on the cars. I am hoping someone on here has this valuable imformation that I need do to I don't own any of these cars with data. Thanks In Advance. If it matters I am modeling in HO scale.

You are in luck. I have 4 sets of these cars, all decorated. This lettering is so small a good magnifying glass is needed.
Here is the info. This set is lettered for---
Bn 637502 L-237'0"
Capy 650000
Ld Lmt per unit 65000
Lt Wt 227800 FCA New 09-83
Under end car deck is car number again 637502.
ACF is circled. ACF stands for American Car & Foundry I think.
End cars are labled like this.
End trucks equipped with stuki 858 crl constant contact side bearings.
Both end cars are lettered with the same info.
Middle cars are lettered for--- Innovative Intermodal Service sprg 5 O.C. D-4 S1.C. D-4
It might be easier to find a set of these cars on the web and copy the lettering you find. At least you could read it easier. Hope this helps.
