Also on the plus side is it has a nicely formed brass roof and sides. But on the negative side the roof is a hair wide, the cupola is I think a bit overscale (I don&#8217;t dare measure it&#8230;), and there are no horizontal board details on the sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any event the car runs great with the train of hoppers in the previous article.
