a great car but I model CNW in the transition era and plan to repaint about 10 stock cars to reflect this period on CNW. Are these cars prototypical? Alan lerner -----Original Message-----

Subject: [a1g] Variations I recently found I had some time this evening, so I thought I would dig out my A1G cars and find the variations I spoke of a while back since I had to add some newly acquired cars to my accumulation. I have found the following variations that I haven't seen documentation on: 2254 CNW 40' stock car cars painted in the same basic scheme, but one has the lip of the roof painted yellow, one doesn't. One car has taller lettering than the other one (same car number, just different font). The yellow is two different shades. 2261 GULF 40' single dome tank There is major differences in the two versions of this car I have. The dome on both cars is different, one has railings on the ladder strip, one doesn't. The lettering is different font and herald is different. The brake wheel is on two different sides of the end of the frame (was this car made with two different molds???). 2262 Frontier 40' single dome tank car The only two differences I find in the two I have is the lettering is different on both and the carbody is as well. One car has thick lettering while the other has thin lettering. The herald/logo is different on both cars. 2321 Shipper's Car Line Center Flow Hopper car Only difference in these two is the lettering. The red 'Center Flow' lettering looks like a stencil on one car, while the other it is solid lettering. The trademark ACF CENTER FLOW below the reporting marks on the frame sill is different on both cars. One car has less dimensional data than the other. 2381 PC 40' steel box (Car number 65638 only)The only real difference in the two I have is the style of lettering. One car has bold lettering, one has thin lettering. The dimensional data under the car number is different between the two cars I have. 3111 CITGO 94' tank car The only difference in my two cars is the red triagnle in the CITGO herald. One car has black lines separate the three pieces of the triangle, one doesn't. The car with the lines seems to be harder to find from what I have seen. I will send pictures of these variations to Mr. Irwin as time permits (got to borrow the digital camera again) so he can determine if they warrant adding to his fine web site. I will continue to look for more variations. (I believe there might have been a period where the manufacturer may have updated the way the lettering was applied to the car). I have about 90% of the A1G freight cars now, all but 14 of them are MIB.
