The Kato 6 window cars appear to be in the 17-48 series. The 4 window
cars are very similar to the walthers cars although the colors differ
slightly - not enough for me to worry about since in consist the
difference will not be noticable IMHO.
I wish a company would put together plastic (plastic priced) accurate
CB&Q and Milwaukee commuter cars. For now I will stick to C&NW
commuter operations....
