Baggage-RPO Car for Abingdon Branch Mixed Consist

[NW Modeling List]

Joseph,
How close is close enough?  Similar to "beauty is in the eye of the
beholder" this is subject to each individual's opinion.  That being said I
have attached a picture of an MTH car that could be used as a stand-in as
long as the scrutiny you subject it to is not too great.  Bashing and
scratching are also fine options if you desire something a little closer.
