The NKP also bought even more lightweight welded box cars from ACF than from PS - series 20200-20499
( The NKP served both St Louis and Chicago, so I guess it bought "local" :-) )

Good afternoon,
I'm struggling through the F&C kit now.
Instructions note
100-B&LE
50-CGW
50-UP

Improved underframe:
200-NKP
200-W&LE
100-PM

RPCyc 31-32 has been very helpful.
I'll be using Yarmouth 18", 7 rung ladders, they seem to match photos in the cyc.  Not sure what I am doing for grabs yet.  The sill step has an extra brace on the UP cars, and the running board support is...funky.

Cheers
Greg
