Available Models

My Model

I have the Rivarossi model of this car. It is ready to go, once I check the coupler height and car weight. I really should change the number on the car since it is lettered #4810 and not #4815. Steve Orth pointed out in an article in the August 2004 issue of "Railmodel Journal" that the car lacks the batten strips that the original car had. The shade of paint to use for this car is the black-capped Pollyscale UP Armour Yellow, which matches the Rivarossi paint better than the white-capped Pollyscale paint.
