Product Review:

NASG Dispatch, Aug 1988, pg 8

Notes:

The model comes with full underbody rigging, high-resolution rivet details, and sprung and equalized lost wax cast trucks. It did not come pre-lettered from the factory because it can be used as a Central of Georgia car or as a Southern Railway car. The model comes with the screws for holding a Kadee coupler, with the coupler pads pre-tapped for the S-scale Kadee coupler. Kadee #5 couplers can be used also.

Bob Werre photographed this model on his layout, which was used in SouthWind Models' advertising of this, then, new car.

The next three photos show John Degnan's model which has Sergent Engineering couplers installed on it.
