into an HO scale Cincinnati Hamilton & Dayton buggy boxcar. The
prototype was used in the late 1880s to haul wagon and buggy

later became part of the Baltimore and Ohio. The tall upper
body is sheathed with horizontal siding. The ends are vertically
sheathed with one having large loading doors. The kit comes
with Cleveland-style arch bar trucks made by Panamint Models
using Shapeway’s detail plastic. The trucks replicate the wood
bolsters, wood spring planks, and outside hung brake beams of
the prototype. They are fitted with InterMountain metal wheel-
sets. Kadee couplers, and Bitter Creek Models pedestal bars.
Tichy and Grandt Line detailing parts are included. At the time
of ordering, buyers may choose either Art Griffin water decals
or Clover House dry transfers. The kit is available at $44.00 each
