Thanks, everyone. Knowing next to nothing about UP freight cars, I picked up one of these on a whim very cheap at a show, intending it mainly to add to my small collection of mainly post-steam freight cars I run around during Free-mo meets. For this purpose the prototype bar isn't high but man oh man I didn't expect this many faults.

Seems like only yesterday I was at Trainfest in Milwaukee having a soft drink
when a friend asked how much I paid for it? I said $3.50. He replied “You could
have bought a Life Like kit for that!” This year there were only a very few
Branchline kits amongst the hundreds/thousands of RTR boxes. Ah, for the good
old days when the market was flooded with kits...
