I respectfully beg to differ - they are plastic.....

They have a cast metal undercarriage, the car itself is plastic.

If there are, we should let him know, so he can correct them.

Agreed, I have done this in the past - but there is only so much time.  :D

About the SEICO pulpwood flat.......The Walthers car lacks end ladders, but using BLMA ladders you can add them, I thought it made a huge difference.....

I also would like some wood chippers - N&W had these made in 1964 or so by Ortner:

I picked up one of the (not so great) PM/Red Caboose Ortner 5 bays with a kit bash in mind ... I would have to fabricate new sides and modify the ends accordingly for a stand in.
