Notes:

In 2004, the NASG's Special Projects committee commissioned American Models to produce this sleeper car to enhance their line-up of their heavyweight cars. There were several versions released, with this one being painted for the CN paint scheme. The car arrived unlettered, but CN decals were included. However, the original cars were painted with the wrong colors. NASG members were offered a free repainting or a refund when returning the cars. Andy Malette did most of this repainting effort.

Properly repainted cars should look like this one. American Models continued to sell these cars after the initial release, and those were all correctly painted.
