Throwback Thursday Old Kitbash PRR NX23 cabin car
A really fine looking model. I assume this was the polystyrene kit. Trying not to nit-pic, but what about the trucks shouldn't they be some PRR type truck. Regards, Bob Witt

Duryea UF applications
Tim, The Speedwitch model follows the "solid design". Make note that it is specific to modeling the Duryea underframes as applied to the B&O Classes M-26D/26E. The biggest difference is later designs

Duryea UF applications
B&O 285471, an M-56 built 1952 (late solid?) It would be solid type that used pressed steel cross-bearers. Also the Duryea design changed in the 1940s to accommodate the standard AAR "Z" center sills.
