Notes:

The kit consists of a wooden floor, two roof strips, two end blocks, and a spacer block. The metal sides, ends, roof, and roof walk are to be attached to the wooden core. Note that the kit-provided trucks were made out of contaminated zamac, which crumbles over time. Has the "Grand Canyon Line" logo on one side and the "Santa Fe All The Way" logo on the other.

Ed added extra details to his model, and attempted to find paint to match the original kit's sides.
