How good are these cars? The circle at the perimeter of the buzz saw looks really thick to me.

I-GN 17850-17999, STLB&M 18000-18249, MP 34300-34599, and MI 3250-4299 were built by ACF in 1945 and STLB&M 18250-18499 and I-GN 18800-18999 were built in 1946 by Pullman-Standard.They all had 6′ doors with a Murphy roof and were 10’6″ inside height. Originally the number series that Intermountain chose was for the ST.LB&M car.

The lettering and buzz saw were perfect.
September 17, 2015 at 8:58 pm #7247bargetanikaParticipantCan we contact intermountain and get them to fix this ? Send them the picture? It’s months until that car is due and intermountain is always late anyway.

I know you are aware of this but for the others on the BB Gene at Intermountain has been contacted and wants to get the correct buzz saw before these go into production. The MPHS sold five cars many years ago that were overseen by Ed Hawkins and the paint schemes were perfect for Mopac. We are seeing if Intermountain can replicate what they did 15 years ago. -
