Description 514 Seaboard Box Car Variations
Category Variations
Remarks

All of the models shown below could have been created in someone's basement, but the fact that there are 3 different paint variations to the same car, two of which share black highlighting, leads me to believe that perhaps something was going on at the Gilbert factory concerning design decisions for this car. As variations, these are probably one of a kind items.  (Click here to see production model)
