I recently purchased one of the new CBQ AAR Postwar boxcars that Atlas has put out (the solid cascase green ones). I have a question for the Q modelers out there on those cars. I have found where the ACI plate would go, which is needed for my era of modeling. My standard photo sources only show me the three images I have which appear to be a car body in a field showing one with what appears to be a mid-70s to early 80s COTS panel. I was wondering if anyone has pictures of or knows if any of them had early 70s COTS panels. Thank you for any assistance the forum can provide.
Gidday, This may not be the answer you’re after…

Cheers, the Bear.
That second link provided another link that answered my question: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/rsPicture.aspx?id=793090 which shows that in in 1974 which fits my era these cars did not have COTS panels.
Thank you for your assistance. I sometimes forget that I can check the rosters on the rrpicturearchives site, which is one I have in my bookmarks.
