 what You have here is an ACF Economy Welded boxcar with "Dartnaught' ends. Atlas has the ends,but not sure about the body with 12 panels ? still should be able to find a Branchline 40' Undec boxcar,get the ends from Atlas,and maybe a Double Panel roof ? the RP CYC article is on other ACF ended cars. Edit - the RP CYC article is for ACF Ends from 1948 to 52 or so.the cars with Dartnaught/Carbuilders Ends will be in a later issue. so the article that I'm thinking about was either in Mainline or Rail Model Journal. will see if that article can be located soon.
