Kris Unique Items/Custom Decorating

On this page are two unique items of Kris Model Trains (KMT) production and one custom decorated car. Variations, where noted below, are from the Kris Model Trains chapter of Greenberg's Guide to Kusan Trains.

Union Pacific bank car; no road number or car data; orange; plug doors; full ladders; particle board chassis; coin slot in roof. The variation of the orange Union Pacific bank refrigerator car in Greenberg's is listed as road number 17. The KMT box this car came in is labeled "orange UP paint sample".

Union Pacific boxcar; no road number or car data; yellow; silver ends and roof; sliding rib doors; half ladders. Variation not listed in Greenberg's. The KMT box this car came in is labeled "UP Boxcar error? No number or car data".

Morgan County State Bank car; no road number or car data; white; plug doors and roof ice hatches; full ladders; coin slot in roof. This photo was sent to me by the former bank Chief Executive Officer. He related that there were only 10 of these cars decorated and presented to the bank's Board of Directors in 1981. This car started out as a KMT Union Pacific bank car, as it came in a KMT box labeled "UP Bank". Per a label on the car bottom, the custom decoration was done by Newbraugh Brothers Toys of Berkeley Springs, WV. Note that Berkeley appears as "Berkley" on the side of the car.
