Picked this up at the Greenburg show on Saturday. Not sure if it's the correct box, has a handwritten label in fine red marker. Car is mint. Photographs nicely I think.

Ken,
What do he coupler pockets look like? I have an odd set of trucks I converted to KD that I'm not sure of the maker (could be tenshodo trucks).

Wow, Baker couplers. Haven't seen those in a while. John Allen used them. Kadee offered to give him all he needed to convert but he realized he had too many cars equipped with these so he stuck with them.
