In 1984, UP acquired seven of the MKT cars. They were promptly patched and put into service. The models feature a muted red body color, various small MKT era lettering including reweigh and COTS stenciling and fresh UP era patches and reporting marks. The doors even have double pairs of auxiliary crank arms, matching the prototypes in this era. The cars were originally part of the January 1969 order, so they feature an accurate Keystone Center-of-Car Cushioning (COCC) and full truck-mounted brake piping and details, just like the prototype. The ends of the COCC draft gear extend beyond the ends of the car and feature carefully-painted yellow coupler centering device handle detail. Accurate 100-Ton “Low Profile” Barber S-2-C trucks that show off the rotating Hyatt roller bearing caps. Yes, the industry’s best trucks include road-specific rotating cap truck details! This is a really cool example of 1980s railroading.Please keep in mind that these were pooled boxcars which means you might consider buying cars in a variety of road names. For example: prototype photos show a SBD car in Flat Rock, MI, a DT&I car in Dallas, TX, a MP car in Toledo, OH and an MKT car in Sharonville, OH. These cars certainly got around!
