Hallmark Drover car

 

The Hallmark model is an incorrect car, with W/C window wrong on the A side. The underbody details are crude.

The model photographed above has been altered to more correctly show the prototype. In the lower photo, the small window set apart used to be on the other end of the car. A good eye can see where the windows was plugged. The handrails from the end ladders to the roof have been replaced with those of a Santa Fe style. End platform whistle/air brake castings were added. Couplers are Kadee offset to keep the car at its prototypical low height and the trucks are from ECW. The underbody was totally rebuilt from styrene and an interior was added. Brake detail comes from photos of D932 in Barstow.

The car is now ready for that stock special.
