Can anyone identify the maker of this car?
It is a model of a 30' wood box car with no outside bracing. The sides, ends and roof are a single piece plactic casting with a plastic roof walk pressed on. The frame is white metal with string for the rod truss.

I have not seen that specific car but I collect (so to say) the Roundhouse reefers and box cars that are that size. I have some that are identical with the exception of the paint job. Mine are mostly patriotic ones as that is what I first started collection. Now have branched out. They are great kits that always run well. Due to the metal chassie they are good performers. Cheep too if you look.
