Yeah, Matt, quite an extensive read, but well-worth it if you're looking to model a prototypical freight car fleet. I've save all of those for reference, although most of the Fowler cars I buy will become EG&E cars, as they're a perfect match to my prototype...right down to the plastic bodies. I'll probably pick up a few of the double sheathed 36'ers, too, but after that, most new freight cars will be, I hope, scratchbuilt or parts-built.
