As Jason knows, the D&RG and C&S wooden underframe stock cars were built to the same plan by ACF. Other than the air brake system and trucks, there was very little difference in the bodies, as built. As the years went on, the C&S went Steel underframe and the D&RG(W) rebuilt the cars, removing the Tongue in Groove sheathing on the ends and reconfiguring the Side Doors, end doors and some of the side boards.

A nice project, I hope you have a discount at the local lumber yard.

Rick
