Notes:
Includes full interior with a hand-painted two-man crew, "swing motion" sprung trucks, brass running boards, and opening end doors. Documentation on this particular model is confusing. The concept drawing shows that the factory was to create two road numbers, namely 22131 and 22132. Yet the S-Helper Service master spreadsheet shows part #00228 to have road number 1501. It also shows part #00229 to have road number 1512. Their original web site had a photo of road number 22139, which is completely unaccounted for.
