    Description

    This is a never-assembled, still in original box kit by La Belle Woodworking Co of Cheyenne Wyoming. I am not a model builder, so I am a bit over my head here re: describing this kit. The box was factory taped closed when I found it, at the estate of the original owner, a train enthusiast. I opened it in order to photograph the contents.
    The label on the end of the box says: HO Traction Illinois Traction Car HO-63. Inside, there are two pages stapled together. One of them is headlined: Illinois Terminal Company Trailer HO-63. The other page is headlined: Illinois Terminal Traction Freight Car HO-63.  So, same model number, two different names...? Is this for a freight car or a company trailer? Or are they the same thing? Regardless, I do seem to be the first person to open the box since it left the factory. Please examine the pictures closely. There are wooden parts, plastic parts still attached to their factory "frame," and tiny metal parts sealed in a little plastic bag. Made in USA. From a nonsmoking collection. Thank you for looking.
