Notes:

The model could be built with open platforms, vestibule platforms, or fully enclosed ends. There was some confusion as to who actually produced these cars. The cars shown here were made by Kinsman in 1969, which was after owner Bob Blois stopped working for Northeastern Scale Models. Northeastern also produced these cars, but only in HO-scale and they are slightly different from the ones that Kinsman made (Northeastern's cars had a portal window instead of the frosted-glass window; Ambroid sold these HO-scale NE kits).

This model is an example of the vestibule version. It rides on American Models trucks.

This model is an example of the closed-end version. It rides on SouthWind Models trucks.
