Safety Valve is correct, the car has no true prototype, but is a "close enough" for Santa Fe's 40 footers. It will "work" for several roads that had 5/5 ends, but had w corners, including NYC, IC, CBQ, and others. If you're up to painting and decaling, you can get Intermountain undecorated kits, and have better cars. Check Intermountains web site, they have a list of '37 cars.mike h. oh, kadee cars are ps-1's, athearn puts any 40 foot scheme on their cars.
