Yes, 2 different poultry cars.......someday, someday, someday I shall build one........Cthulhu knows that brass Overland cars is way beyond this mortal's hobby budget.

Interesting variation on the doors; inner vs. outer and what appears to bars on yet another opening. Interesting reading up on the history of poultry transport by rail. Was a nasty job being the caretaker in those cars.....

Always this one you could play with...

It’s amazing the similarities between the 1/1-scale examples and the 1/48-scale Lionel version.

There used to be an O scale kit (Ambroid? They offered one in HO) for the "LIVESAY(sp?)" poultry car probably sixty or more years ago. I have two and both need major work to be presentable again.

Kit was from Huff 'n' Puff; think they offered 3 different lettering schemes. Tough to find now. Maybe someday Rick Steele will put these back into production...

The kit that I am thinking of is much older than Huff 'n' Puff; maybe from the fifties or earlier. The two examples that I have are quite crude compared to H&P's stuff. Also, based on the construction methods and appearance, these cars were built by two different people but not scatchbuilt.

Hawk, maybe? But I've not seen such a kit either.
