Colin, I don't think they are. Tony's ends are the sine wave style of non terminating end that PS used from sometime in the late 60s until ~1975, when they changed to the trapezoidal shape. The Monon car looks like some variant of the normal bowtie end, but with inset instead of rounded corners. For the sake of being complete here, the early sine wave ends from the mid 60s (as were on those SOU cars) had a flattened top "wave" where the lettering was placed. Darn it. I would really like one of those Monon cars -- that were apparently used in grain service, not koalin or phosphate like the Southern and ACL/SAL/SCL cars.

Rob is correct on the decal set. I worked with Hubert Mask for this set specifically for the AirPak logo. Only Southern car I have seen it on. Thanks! Must be newer than the last time I ordered from him. Darn it. I would really like one of those Monon cars -- that were apparently used in grain service, not koalin or phosphate like the Southern and ACL/SAL/SCL cars. These are something I haven't yet decided how best to model. If it wouldn't be too hard to modify them from some Intemountain PS-1 ends, then that's the route I'll take, but otherwise I'll be printing them. I'd like to do one of CGW's exterior post cars with the same ends.Interesting note on the cars being in grain service. Might have room for just one more LC in that case...
