These cars came in sets of various forms (3 car all Heavy weights, 4 car 2 sheet metal-2 die cast HW, 3 car 2sheet metal - 1 die cast HW) from 1938-1942. I dont know that much about them as far as variations go. They were pulled by K5s, Hudsons and Challengers (Northerns) all 3 number 500 series locos. e.g.- 559 & 561 K5s, 564 & 532 Hudson, 568 & 534 Northerns. Ive found that properly lubed these run quite smoothly despite the heavy weight of them.
