    I have no idea who the MFG of this car is, it was part of my friends collection, I ended up owning. The car is all metal casting so it is very heavy, should track good. I bent that large handrail on top out of .015 brass wire soldiered the middle uprights in, I tweaked it a bit, painted and decaled this for one of the 2 cars of this type the SL-SF 99156. The couplers are dummy metal ones that are sprung. Used a Dremel tool to clearance so it will couple and operated with KD's or similar type drawbars. The metal casting is certainly rougher than the Walthers plastic one, but so is the real one. It does have sprung axles.
    In doing some research I found the Frisco had 60 scales around the system that needed calibrated on a regular basis.
    If anyone can tell us the MFG of this car I would appreciate it.
    Asking $20.00 + shipping USPS PM

    Good buy Keith, I wish I had a scale on my layout. I bought all the guys interiors that he had in stock. Picked up a GP-15-1 Frisco and a couple of light kits.
    I PM Tom and told him that was a great looking car, it looks real similar to the Frisco's scale car.
