Breezinup I was meaning to reply to your comments about the 92 and 97 00 single door box cars-and I agree that one can learn much about those early MPC years by looking at those cars. The variations in the first 9200 car ( IC) are innumerable and some of them are quite uncommon. Also remember that some of the 9700s ( off the top of my head, without looking at my cars-had metal door guides, top and bottom -? 9700 Southern, 9704 NW and 9705 DRG-I think)-and those are becoming hard to find ( although I would bet that there are truly only a few who care). Finally, remember the discussions about the green dot in the O of some of the 9700 Southern cars-although the Greenberg books insinuate that they came from the MPC factory that way-other, very knowledgeable folks claim that Lionel sent the green dots on strips of paper and the dealers applied them. Again, most would say " who cares" and they are probably correct. I find it all interesting. turtle7
