I am wondering if anyone has some better pictures, or any information on the coil steel cradles Conrail used. I just stumbled across them while browsing the CRHS website and would like to model them but I need some better pictures as the ones I have found don't show much. Here is a link to a picture of what I am talking about, any help is greatly appreciated. http://thecrhs.org/Images/TTJX-80773
