I'm sure Ron will do an outstanding job on these cars. The Frisco purists may "poo-poo" the types of heavyweight cars Ron has as not exactly matching the Frisco cars of that type (believe me I heard it all while doing the research). I'm not such a purist. I am thankful for all the help I received from Frisco aficionados on the internet.
I know I get hung up on something oversized or undersized, but I'm somewhat flexible when it come to length.
The Lionel/Flyer heavyweight cars wouldn't be much more accurate either. I'm not sure they even have a specific prototype. The AM cars are pretty nice, and with 6-wheel trucks under them, they look even better:
Sometimes, ya gots ta go with whats ya gots, particularly in S. There are guys that wouldn't buy the AM Budd's because they're not full length. They're holding out for proper full length cars. They're still waiting since 2001...
I think you guys will have a winner on your hands.
