Over the weekend, I picked up a white metal kit of a HO Scale Test Car that was manufactured by Stewart Products of Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Does anyone know much about the kit, or prototypes it represents? The kit appears to be late 70's, or early 80's vintage.

They seem to be fairly generic with minor differences. MP had some see:

From what I understand, they were orange in earlier times. I did a decal set for an SP one but don't have the actual image. See:

I have a picture of SP 5868 and several of SSW 99203, both of which are this
type car. Contact me offline if you want me to send them to you.


Thanks!

The MoPac ones are indeed orange, for my timeframe of mid-60s. I did one from the Walthers car.
