The NE in New Haven's NE-5 class stands for Northeastern, the same regional type this tooling represents, so the road and the car style belong together - though the NE-5s were New Haven-built 1940s cars rather than literal copies of the 1924 Reading design, so read the model as Northeastern-type rather than an exact NE-5. The large NH herald is the identity Patrick McGinnis introduced in 1954, and the car's own 2-58 stencil dates it to February 1958. This is a RailKing car - near-scale proportions, supplied 3-rail, without the Kadee pads, brakeman figure and separate metal handrails of MTH's Premier cabooses. No UPC or weight is published, so the barcode is left empty and the weight is an estimate; country of manufacture is inferred as China.
