Completely new product. The MP/MI cars were (or appear to be) identical to the CB&Q cars…of the same cu ft. rating…made around the same time frame.
Walthers’ version was released several years ago in a six pack…but this model would be with state-of-the-art tooling…
The MP cars had either full length top cord reinforcing angles…or the partial ones…like the CB&Q had. So, the Walthers car was pretty close for its’ time. They even got the number series right.
This car would be all new from the wheels up…and HIGH quality.
