Notes:
In 2013, the NASG's Special Projects committee commissioned American Models to produce this baggage car. The car was previously only available as part of the 5-car set (part #HW8013), so this addition made it possible for members to buy this car without having to buy the entire set. The body was painted in Pullman green.

Shown is a slightly modified version. Bill replaced the stock couplers with Kadee ones, and the trucks have been turned 180 degrees and remounted in the hole nearest the end of the car (to make the trucks appear to be closer to the ends of the car). Neither of these changes are required to use the car.
