The kit comes with Youngstown doors, Dreadnaught ends, and a simulated wooden roofwalk. Please note that modelers are reporting these kits as being challenging to build, and you might need to deal with warped parts.

Bill Winans indicated that the roofwalk was not yet installed at the time of this photo. The car is lettered for Mike Swerderska's "Meramec Valley" railroad, using Mike's decals. Bill used grab irons made by Bill Lane, stirrups by Rusty Rustermier, American Models doors, door guides by Evergreen Styrene, and roof, underframe, ladders, and brake details by Pacific Rail Shops, and, finally, the tack boards by both Pacific Rail Shops and S-Helper Service.

Tom Lennon photographed and built this model for Ken Zieska. American Models details were added, and the car is riding on Pacific Rail Shops Bettendorf trucks.
