Roundhouse and Bev-Bel Inventories

[LenS]

Does anybody have a good source for finding the kit numbers for Roundhouse and Bev-Bel HO freight cars? I've already checked HOSeeker, the MDC Yahoo site and most of the sales on Ebay in an effort to associate Road Numbers and Names with kit numbers. Athearn, Atlas and Accurail are a lot easier, since there is documentation on the websites and even the Athearn guide.

Any input would be appreciated. I guess not everybody feels such an obsession to keep inventory records like I do.

TIA, Len

Didn't Bev-Bel just paint/decorate Athearn and maybe Roundhouse cars? They did not manufacture models. Would they have had stock numbers?

yeah they had series of stock numbers usually a set of 3 or 6 etc in sequential numbers at times...

The sets of 3 to 6 cars are what I'm most interested in. I think they also had sets up to 12 cars. It's nice that they replicated Athearn cars with different road numbers, making fleet expansion a bit easier.
