I have had this "kit" for a while now. Cannot find my box of scribed sides, so am considering using these.
First, they are smooth side - did Santa Fe have ice cars with plywood sides?
Second - do they have value as some obscure part of O Scale history? Am I making a mistake by glueing that stuff inside a box forever?
Third - how does a big box of beautiful scribed plywood sides get so lost? Enquiring minds want to know.

Bob, it may be you gave or traded the scribed sides away, my belief is if they're smooth, they're supposed to be steel sheet sides. I'd defer to anyone who's really up on the SFRD fleet.
Thanks. Doubt it. They are really neat, and won't split.
I know nothing about ATSF Ice Cars. That's why I asked. Could be they were primitive attempts to simulate steel sides. But the roof is like an early wood car.
