Cool! Looks like an easy conversion from this car: http://www.nsrm-friends.org/nsrm34.html. I'll have to keep it in mind when I get to that car :)

Rick,
It's got a nice bit of a bow in the frame by the looks of it...

That car reminds me a lot of the conversion Norm and I did on the Sandy RIver
Baggage car. A few small details and it would have the same look only
in 30ng scale.

If I were to lay down, I would be able to touch both ends of the car.

Interesting trucks too, sort of a hybrid between freight arch bar trucks and standard passenger car trucks...
