Johnathan,
I was told long ago that the Taurus kit was the Q NG car, however I
never bought or built one so can't say for sure. I have one of Colllns
drawing of the car on p79 of Fielder. He has it numbered 42428 which I
feel is wrong as all Q NG cars were numbered in the 12000 series. The
problem here is the car is clearly an ore car but the ORER shows:
gondola 12400 - 12499
Ore car 12500 - 12699
