A lot of the info came from Tim (Red Oval). I just compiled it.

This is a pretty good listing. Thanks for the effort you put into it.

Paul, thanks. I'll add them to the list. Is that the A64B Autocar or the dump truck? What is the model of the dump truck anyway? I know it's a DC-something-or-other.

Ray, like I told Brian, I just compiled it; but I do what I can. I think this sort of stuff is moderately important if your going to build accurate models. The "master list" I have also has the engines that come in the kits.

Autocar DC9964. The original issue of that kit says it right on the box, but if you have any of the re-issues, it doesn't say.
