Notes:

This version has an exterior height of 9 feet. This kit represents a generic 40' refrigerator car. Bill Hoss at Lake Junction (who actually manufactured these kits) stated that it was made from an ART car's measurements. According to him, this was the rarest of The Supply Car kits.

Bob Hogan added Pacific Rail Shops ladders, Grandt Line door hardware, AB brakes, and cut levers; Ye Old Huffin Puff ice hatches, and B.T.S. air hoses.
