Ahhh, I thought have thought to do this earlier. I just recently purchased this slide on E-bay, and the seller still has his illustration up. This is one of the few (maybe only) photos I've ever seen of one of the Soo GS cars loaded with coal.

This is the car the RC car with chain devices is intended to model:

This is the current Intermountain assembled car:

You can see the different appearance of the chain hardware. You'll also note that the stub sills at the ends of the sides are wrong, but this is basically a carve-away job. Biggest problem is the two rung sill steps. The Society has these, done for the Speedwitch car, but not packed for sale yet.
