Notes:

These came with the Nixon Model Co's sprung soft-metal truck kits and wheelsets. These cars were originally Midgage Models (1947), later taken over by Sylvania Models (1950), and then Branch Line Hobby Supply (1960), which used the "Branch Line Models" brand name.

A scan from the company's catalog.

Karl Johnson received this model second-hand, and it appears to have AF wheels under it even though it is the full length of the "scale" model.
