I acquired this interesting Amity Star kit some time ago.? While the car is too modern for my layout, it provided an interesting kit to build.? I upgraded it using milled "T" stock and styrene brake details.? The prototype was a 58' long, 4 bay, 100 ton car built in 1965 for the Southern and upgraded with dual walkways in 1966.? Equipped with nicely etched walkways and ACE roller bearing trucks, it makes into a very nice model and is listed on eBay should it fit someone else's time frame.? I've not seen another of these nice kits built, but there must be others out there.
