Southern took its first Pullman-Standard waffle-sides in 1974 and eventually rostered nearly 5,000 of them. MTH offers road numbers 527617 and 531920 under this item. The waffle pattern is not decoration: the bumps are recesses stamped into the inner wall to anchor load restraints, giving a smooth interior with tie-down points anywhere along it. MTH lists two road numbers under this item and does not say which ships, so the number is shown as varying. No UPC or weight is published; the barcode is left empty, the weight is an estimate, and country of manufacture is inferred as China.
