The first Robot car ( Robot-1; C-4467) was put in service in November 1967. It was painted in the tuscan and grey scheme. After a long period of testing four more were built. They got the then current blue with multimark paint scheme, and were numbered from 1001 to 1005. This series was converted from 4400 series baggage cars the ex silk cars.

The masters for this model were developed from prototype drawings, photographs and actual measurements. It is one of a kind Museum quality, completely finished, handmade from epoxy castings, platforms and stakes are brass. The center sill has metal reinforcement to keep the car from sagging. Brass stirrup steps, hand grabs, cut levers and brake rods finish off the model.
The model is fully functional with #78 Kadee couplers and metal wheels. Roller bearing version rides on modified "Genesis models" trucks and the friction bearing types are modified "Accurail" trucks.
The model has then been weathered using my unique process. This whole process allows the finer details of the model to come to life giving a “real live” look and making it a truly astounding museum quality model.Lettering artwork and decals were specifically made for this models. They are exquisitely detailed according to prototype, yet sturdy. Many versions are available: PGE brown and black, BCR lightgreen and dark green and BC RAIL dark green. The Canadian Pacific Railway cars with a wider center sill are in the works and will be available later this year.
