Notes:

These kits consisted of one-piece urethane body casting, supplied with American Models floor and trucks. The car body master pattern was made by Bill Geracci from a couple of American Flyer Budd shorties. The model is based on a Seaboard 60-passenger coach.

Dick Karnes installed grab irons and handrails and then painted and decorated this model. He has also added B.T.S. brass streamlined truck details.

This shows the car before painting, clearly showing the brass details Dick added.
