Models

Scale Manufacturer Stock number Car number Paint scheme Notes
HO Athearn 5800 series ? ? 2000 time frame (not sure if they produced any lettered for B&M)
HO Athearn 5804? 79056 Guilford White in Jul, 2014 "New product announcements" of Model Railroad Hobbyist p138
Only artwork is shown, expected Jan, 2015 arrival
Unknown how accurate the model is vs. the actual car.
HO Athearn 5813 ? ?(suspect "original")post in groups.io "MFCL" Oct, 201
HO Exactrail ? No B&M? ? See their web site
I don't know if they ever did ones lettered for the B&M, or if they have the P-S "Embossed" door type available.
HO, N Pacific Western Rail Systems No B&M ? Not exactly the same car (model is 5077 Cu Ft. car, B&M car is 5344/5315), and there are a bunch of differences
(roofs, ends, IH = 11'-1" (B&M) vs 10'-7" (this model), and possibly underframe & brake details.
But they do model the PS "Embossed" door that these were delivered with, and one variant has the correct number of ribs on the side.
