There are 2 EJ&E gondolas in the catalog.
Why has nobody mentioned that they have the final EJ&E scheme on the gondolas in the catalog?

3.) For Higher speeds the B-50-25 (9100-9199) had Symington-Gould High Speed Trucks. B-50-31 9200-9209 had Barber Stabilized Trucks, 9210-9219 were equipped with Allied Full Cushioned Trucks, 9220-9229 were equipped with Elsey Trucks. None of the makers will bother with accurate trucks so I'm certain Lionel will deliver them with generic Bettendorf style trucks. I'll live with that. If they come with 100 ton roller bearing trucks I'm going to be angry.
WITZ, If you order cars 9205 and 9209 and you can put some Quailty Craft diecast or Athern O plastic Symington trucks under them; buy 9211 and 9217 and you can order replacement Allied trucks from Atlas O and be that much closer to prototype. That's my plan. I've put a pair of Quality Craft made Symington-like trucks under the K-Line version.

Well I preordered the SFRD refrigerator car with freight sounds. First thing I've preordered in years. I was undecided about it but figured it might be hard to find later. I wanted it as it matches the other scale Lionel SFRD refrigerator cars I have in my GFX train hauled by "cat whisker" ABBA F3s.
The NORFOLK AND WESTERN Hi-Cube 86' boxcar N&W 355197 would be even more appealing if it looked like this N&W 355198 boxcar shown on rr-fallenflags.
