Hi Chuck, Got your note. The parts of these cars are from Dana Barlow, the extrusions were used on the standard gauge 'Lee Lines' production and later for his 'G Action Models' brand in G scale. Not sure whether he or someone else made the beaver tail end, that piece is unique. The trucks and ends are his. I think I even have a few of those expanded metal 'fences' at the end of the car somewhere. Some of the windows were punched, some drilled and a few look like they were formed from the square punch at the end of the beaver tail car. Your set was likely a one off. I have been in touch with Dana Barlow lately, he is 82 and posted on Facebook a couple of times. I'll have to ask him about this set. I make these cars today using the same extrusions in standard gauge, and have a mold for the PRR Congressional flat end, and the round end which requires bending the sides. I use the same ends and trucks today for standard gauge with modifications. Jim

Paul. I'd like to print my own. Interested in sharing or selling models for my own use? Thanks Jim
