I'm not sure of the class; for one thing RC didn't have pictures of the underframe on the web site. But the ends are closed so that rules out the S-40-8 and S-40-10 judging by pics in Tony's book. I'm

Garth, Haven't a clue. You'll have to talk to that guy that writes SP freight car books... Shawn Beckert
