Re: [CBQ] Starting some Q branch line modelling

Hi Rick,

It's somewhat surprisingly a Micro Trains car in N scale.

Little bit of a departure from their very generic "dispatch stock car" 
despite being labelled as same. I remember reading somewhere (a 
Bulletin maybe? or here?) that there were some CB&Q stock cars with 
Everywhere West/Way of the Zephyrs painted on planks on the doors, so I 
purchased it because it seemed like it might be a bit closer to the 
prototype than their generic versions.
While I have a number of the very common generic ones that I plan to 
try my hand at kit-bashing with, the model photographed is the only one 
I can ever remember having seen for sale. So I may not touch it with a 
modeller's knife until my skills in that area have developed a bit. :)
Packaging says it's supposed to be a SM19 built in Galesburg in 37/38, 
the copyright notice puts date of manufacture at 2015. More details:
