Re: (erielack) DL&W Round Roof Box Cars

[Schaffer <"bshaffer_@_epix.net">]

Group,

    There was a mention of this car earlier on this list where it was mentioned
that the DL&W had only one.  I too would like to know if anyone has any info
such as car # and if the Bowser cars would make a close model.
               Thanks for your help,  Brad Schaffer
