Years ago, Des Planes Hobbies had IMWX do a special run of the square end
1937 boxcar with a specially-commissioned Viking roof. They did several
roads, including a NKP car (I still have one kicking around my stash of
cars). I believe that the deep "fishbelly" under the door was original to
the NKP car... maybe someone else can give more information regarding as to
who else used this arrangement.
