This has been posted before, but does anyone know the actual heritage of ex-UHRR 101, the bay window caboose?
It's reported as ex-NYC, but NYC cars have a ton of different details, even if you account for a car that's had the windows modernized. The big thing is NYC and PC bay window cars had riveted sides, this one is welded. It even has different details from a Conrail N21 bay window, although it's close.
In fact, what it's closest to from what I can see is the Walthers HO kit, if you build it with the same style bays. I don't know what, or if, it's based off any specific prototype with details added to change it to be closer to other roads.
