As seen in MR, as found on eBay

October 1960 Model Railroader, pg 26-27.
I own that boxcar. I bought it off ebay a few years ago, and have wondered what the C&CS is ever since.
(It needed a little attention when it showed up, so I've touched up the base color paint, replaced the couplers with 705's, and gave it a little weathering to blend with the rest of my fleet.)

How you even make the connection? I simply refuse to accept you were thumbing through an ancient copy of MR and happened to see that boxcar in a small photo.

To be honest, that's pretty much exactly what happened. I've been flipping through hundreds of MR's recently with the intent to tear out (and 3-ring binder) any article relevant to my interests, and I'm purging the remainder. This just jumped out at me as I passed the page.

Okay, I'll believe you, but I'm sure you understand that I never would have thought that was the case before you posted this. Talk about a coincidence!

Pretty cool to find something that was in one of the magazines. You definitely gotta keep your eyes and ears open at auctions and flea markets.
