Notes:
This version has single rectangular window in each end of the body.. The models had brass plates included for those modelers who wanted to model a prototype that didn't have the double-windows on the sides. The fastidious modeler might choose to revise the running board and underframe, as these were key spotting features. The Lehigh Valley sold these cabooses to Conrail (via Penn Central), General Electric, and Providence & Worchester.
