My recollection is that the kit included silk screened sides, unusual for Ambroid but common for Mainline and similar kits.

They were boxcars - I don't know if they were ex-demonstrators or not. They were painted in ACL's standard scheme of the mid-50s - boxcar red, white lettering, circle herald at right with the RR name. I can supply a photo if desired - contact me off-list.
