Most details cast on, but separate ladders and roof walk, minimal underbody detail. I did some work on my Swift version, and decided that they were too much trouble to get more when there are better versions for the same price. I would guess that a lot of folks felt that way, because they were discontinued at the turn of the century. Have fun!

I know Mike MacCormack produced three cars in O scale in the late 1980's (outside braced/single-sheathed boxcar, AAR lower roof steel boxcar, and woodside refrigerator car) and continued to do custom lettering for Weaver even after they bought his dies. Who has more information on the S scale venture? Jace Kahn General Manager Ceres & Canisteo RR Co./Champlain County Traction Co.
