I will be having some parts cast in Bronze that are appropriate for USRA freight car among other early freight car.
I do not have a price but if you are interested please let me know how many of each you would be interested in.

I guess I'm having trouble visualizing them on a car.... Can someone post a picture? This would be from early 1900s through 1920s, correct? They look nice.

Here's a photo of an appropriate car.

Edit: I should note this is a double-sheathed USRA box and Tim's poling pockets are correct for a single-sheathed car, they're slightly different. Brake wheel is the same though!

Thanks. The link had this picture in it, which also shows the polling pockets pretty well. These cars are going to be real showpieces!
