I need your help listing all available equipment for the Winona Railway in all scales.
I am somewhat familar with what is available in O scale and S scale, but have very little knowledge of other scales.

???	???	ShowCase Line	S	???	The Swift cars (SRLX) are under GATX in both [4/1943 and 1/1953] ORERs. Many Swift cars have identical dimensions, but they do list ExL as well. The 29f 6in IL crs are almost all 37 ft 3 in ExL. The 33 ft IL cars are 40 ft 3 in ExL, so the 801-813 series are probably a reasonable kitbash from the SHS car. All the others are scratch or wood kit conversions. - Pieter Roos Most of the 700 series look to be 36 ft ex-meat reefers, maybe Swift? Those would be easier to scratch build than convert from an SHS car. I think 810 is REALLY close, and may be an ACF car (which is the SHS prototype). - Pieter Roos (SSPM list 5 Sep 2007)
???	???	Kinsman	S	???	S scale craftsman style wood kits - refrigerator car Web site says "This kit took me about 25 hours to complete"
