Con Cor Auto Racks and Vert A Pac car in Video on YouTube

| IC "Vert A Pac" Car
I saw an advertisement involving this freight car in the early 70's showing how the sides pull down into ramps, then Chevy Vegas were driven up the ramp, ramps were closed, leaving the Vegas nose first. Accommodations were made at the factory for various fluids in the cars. I don't know if these cars were still in service in 1981.

| Santa Fe Auto Rack Red Paint Scheme
All of the Con Cor cars have "N Scale of Nevada" photo etch panels. These panels are no longer available. (If someone has some extras, I need 6 more.) This improved the appearance of the Con Cor auto racks remarkably. I also modified the extensions on the Micro Train couplers, thus shortening the distance between cars.

The "t" in Santa Fe was applied in house by spraying Santa Fe red on a piece of sheet metal, then spraying on the "t", and welding it to the car.
