Notes:

This is the pair-windows version. These came with the Nixon Model Co's sprung soft-metal truck kits and wheelsets. These cars were originally Midgage Models (1947), later taken over by Sylvania Models (1950), and then Branch Line Hobby Supply (1960), which used the "Branch Line Models" brand name.

This is a photo of the original Midgage Models version.

This is the "shorty" version of #I-204 to be able to handle the tight AF-based layout curves. These cars were originally Midgage Models (1947), later taken over by Sylvania Models (1950), and then Branch Line Hobby Supply (1960), which used the "Branch Line Models" brand name.
