Notes:

This particular kit has two different sides.

This photo, of the model then-owned by Jack Troxell, shows one side of the car.

Ed Kirstatter's photo shows the other side of the car. He installed S-Helper Service trucks and Kadee #808 couplers, and added several other details.

This is what the sides look like after they have "aged" for a few decades.
