Except for the grab irons this kit went together pretty well for me. I saw a perfect car at a dealers table at a train show in the early '80s. I suspect that the dealer was the proprietor of

Pollymold Castings Corp made a SR&RL boxcar kit in epoxy resin. I think the date was 1972 (I can check at home tonight) and later a pair of WW&F passenger cars and freelance caboose, all HOn30 (or

Green resin? Was that an earlier product than the metal-filled 1201 G22 Pennsy gon that I busted half a dozen drill bits on so long ago? That gon soldiers on faithfully here, though most every time
