Notes:

This kit could be made into a box car or a reefer. The kit provides precision-cut parts, which give the modeler a solid foundation from which to make the final model.

Ed Kirstatter built his into a reefer. He added Northeastern's Andrew trucks, Kadee 808 couplers. Ed used 3D-printed parts for the ratchet wheel-n-pawl on the brakeman's step and its shaft's stirrup below. Using those cast metal doors and ends makes a heavy model.
