Spoke with Tom this evening; since calendar (and thus the "stuffers) 
came out later than intended, he will extend the offer for several 
weeks.  I got my calendar, etc Monday (in rural north central Iowa) 
whereas Dennis Popish in the Chicago metro area had not rcvd his as 
of Wed nor Tom (also Chicago metro) not yet today!  So be patient as 
when things go "non-profit rate" USPS can vary widely in their 
delivery times.  Is a good calendar though & worth the wait along 
with the great offer from NKP, especially if you buy 3 (get together 
with a buddy!).  The car in question is the 6160-6170 hwt coach.  Per 
Bill Glick's books (which Tom uses extensively), a couple lasted into 
1970 before being scrapped and one went into MoW service in "68.  He 
also recalls riding one in 60's on a Twin Zephyr on a w/e when a lot 
of college kids were riding and extra seating req'd.  Was tacked on 
to very end of the consist!  (The LaCrosse Div had 3 colleges in 
Dubuque, 1 in Prairie du Chien, 1 in LaCrosse & 3 in Winona not to 
mention those at either end in Chicago & suburbs and Twin Cities so 
lots of college traffic at certain times PLUS sometimes an extra 
coach for Scout Troops, etc not to mention the use of this class in 
fan service with 4860/5632.  Is a great kit - thanks Tom for 
continuing to provide less common Q passenger cars!    Gerald
