I used this kit, all undecorated, to model four cars:

WP, adding styrene to the door for the WP herald
MP
SL-SF, using a "Rocket Express" 3/3/3 Dreadnaught end on the "B" end
T&P with scratch built 8-foot Superior doors

All of the stand off details were removed except the ladders on the Auto ends, nor did I try to remove the Lumber Door on the T&P and sculpt the end.

I think it is a great "canvas" to create interesting and accurate models.
