I am beginning to build the NKP kit for the above car, which I remember well on the AK-SAR-BEN, as seen one morning at the CUS throat in the sixties as the train was being withdrawn to the yard for servicing. It was attention-getting with its wide windows and Venetian blinds, all down but open. The kit is missing a center sill and there is no description, diagram, nor dimensions on which to scratch build one. I am presuming that the sill was apparently a flat girder or channel, and that the brake levers, etc. were mounted on the bottom surface (like freight cars). Am I correct? Does anyone know? I have built a number of NKP HW car kits, and the resulting models can be stunning- and this is no exception. I have also contacted Tom Shneid about this question. Thank you- Denny Denny Anspach, MD Okoboji, IA
