John - I have my models stored in a box so cannot easily check, but I
believe Detail Associates (or ????) sells a satisfactory styrene end that
will do the job. They have both a square and a W corner part. They come in
three pieces with separate rivet strips that glue on the edges. With some
work, they come out pretty nice.

Subject: [cpsig] searching for former CRMPG freight-car part
I'm looking for a one set of the former CRMPG cast-resin part #1237E which are the 5-5 dreadnaught ends with square corners as used on the earliest CPR steel boxcars built to the 1937 design. I need these to complete a model I currently have in progress. Apparently this particular part was not taken over by Sylvan Scale Models. I seem to recall having some correspondence with Clare Gilbert about this particular part some time ago and there was some reason why it didn't make it into their line (my apologies to Clare if my memory is faulty on this point). In any event, if anyone has a pair of these they don't mind parting with for a reasonable price and don't mind shipping to the U.S. I'd appreciate hearing from you off-list.
Thank you.
