[NW Modeling List]

Bob

There were originally 1301-1336 according to Wallace & Wiley built in 
three separate  orders:
1301-1312 AC&F 1913-15
1313-1330 H&H 1916
1331-1336 Bethlehem 1918

It would be interesting to see how the little details varied between the 
builder.

They share most common dimensions with the BMf and the Me and its 
derivatives.  They were built by Pressed Steel car in 1913.

SO...one right sized roof and underbody and six or seven different sets 
of sides to make all of the variations.
