These Express cars were rebuilt by NWP from their 100 USRA DS box cars in 1939. See Our Kit #3818 for that version. After WWII, the NWP repainted the cars with a colorful "Redwood Empire Route Overnite" banner down the length of the car. Our Kit features the full color lettering, AB brakes, an improved One-Piece body, passenger steam, signal and air lines, etched sill steps and many other details.
NOTE: A PDF file color photo of NWP #1960 is available with this Kit. Email Required.
