This car caught my eye as a modeling project in HO scale. A couple of
questions:
1) Who built the car? I'd place a guess that it's a PS-1, but I'll leave it
up to you experts to pass final judgement.
2) What are the closest modeling options in HO? What would you do to improve
the appearance of the model?
3) Was this car painted boxcar red or Chinese red?
4) What would be appropriate HO decals for this car? (Microscale preferred,
but all ideas are welcome.)
5) Would the other side of the car have the "Everywhere West" slogan?
