Additionally, there are at least two significant variations of "B&O wagontop box car": the M53, which we all know has already been done in brass, and the M15k which was a 30s rebuild of a pre-WW I wood- sheathed car. The undeframe is completely different from the M53 and this is reflected in the appearance of the side sills.
Those who have a brass M53 might prefer Kaslo to produce the M15k, while those who don't might prefer they produce both versions. Producing only the M53 might not be the best strategy.
