Jim...Thanks for the prototype history. Do appreciate that. In this particular case, I do not care if the car is lettered for NYC or some other road. It is the wood interior with the grain and details that appeals to me. Also, I like the brown (freight car red?) better than black -- especially for photography and weathering purposes. I guess we all buy things for somewhat different reasons. My modeling era is 1948-1958 although I do have a few exceptions. It should be possible to fit a composite side car into this scheme of things. Of course, that means I have to find one first. Always a hitch. Take care...Ed L.
