Former American Model Builders Kit

This model represents the 28-foot, three-window prototype waycars that the CB&Q owned and operated from the 1904 consolidation until the 1970 merger. Many of these waycars received at least one if not two rebuilds during their lifetime. Sometime in the 1930's, the wooden end ladders were replaced with steel, wooden underframes were replaced with steel, and the wooden cupola sides and ends were covered with zinc sheeting. Some of these options are included with this kit. At least 54 of the 28', three-window wooden waycars survived the BN merger and were used for several years before being retired, most of them gone by 1978. This 100% laser-cut wood kit also includes cast resin platform steps, Grandt Line turnbuckles, and AMB white metal smokejack (less couplers, end ladders, trucks, and decals).
