It is possible John bought it from Hansel; or, if there is/are any wood used to simulate brass structural members, it is a totally different car. What I remember was an all-metal car, no vehicles on board at the time, Hansel showed it at the '72 NASG first convention.

I think the brass autorack may have been built by John Bortz. I wonder who bought it at the auction.

Does anyone know what prototype the car was. Does anyone who attended the KC convention that year remember the all-brass model, of an autorack, including a fully operating full-cushion draft gear?
