Thanks, Rob.
Someone else pointed out the Intermountain Railway Company #41899
Modified AAR 40' Box Car (8 Rung Ladder, 4-4 Improved Dreadnaught
End) is a good match, along with Microscale 87-412 decals.
Does anyone have comments on a comparison of the suitability of these
two kits? Both Branchline and Intermountain kits are within my
modeling abilities. From what I understand, the Intermountain kit
has the proper improved dreadnaught ends and rectangular panel roof --
I'm not sure what the Branchline kit has. As a minimum, it seems
that both kits would need a Superior five-panel door.
