Instruction Sheets

The body is urethane resin, the roof and floor are milled bassword, and the ends and details are all metal. Don Thompson (owner of Trainstuff at the time) recalls Stan Stokrocki made the patterns for this car. Bob Ristow made the logo decals and Herald King made the data decals. Liberty Models made the AB brake set and the end platforms. The floor was either custom or from Northeastern, as was the strip wood. Rollerbearing trucks were from ACE. This early form of resin warps and gets brittle over time.
