They had drop ends, manual pump handles and Symington trucks. The design proved so successful that three more deliveries were taken from Eastern in 1935-43 for a total of 1,750 cars. The first three orders were painted black but the last arrived just as the switch to freight car red was taking place. The lettering style was changed to a billboard style in 1958. Our kits model the cars with the drop ends in either position using cast dreadnaught ends with detail on both sides.
Sides are also detailed inside and out on a single casting.
Both manual and power handbrakes are included so that all deliveries may be duplicated.
