This car was advertised in May 1973 in Railroad Model Craftsman but not in Model Railroader. The price was $11.50 less trucks and couplers. The kit was simultaneously released in both the H- and the O-series and was the seventh 0-scale kit in the Heritage Line. This ad also claims that these collector's kits will be of limited production.

The caboose was used on NP during the steam and early diesel era, and could recently (in 1973) be seen, not only on NP, but also on DM&IR, LS&I, and D&NE.

This kit was for some reason listed in a February, 1975 ad as being sold in H0 only.

This car was advertised in August 1973 in Railroad Model Craftsman but not in Model Railroader. The price was $11.50 less trucks and couplers.

The ad shows a picture of the car lettered for Philadelphia and Reading, but the ad carefully points out that the decals included are those of the Reading Railroad.

For further information regarding the prototype of this car, please see kit H-14 for details.

The kit was made by Quality Craft.

The ad states that Ambroid had long wanted to produce a kit like this, but no plans were available for the car. The prototype was located, photographed, and measured by staff members of Railroad Model Craftsman in the yards of Lehigh & Hudson Valley RR at Warwick, New York. This is originally a NYO&W car.

See also kit H-19 for more details.

This kit could be built either as a class ND 4 wheel caboose, or as a class NDa 8 wheel caboose, or "cabin cars" as they apparently were called in Pennsy jargon. Please see kit H-20 for details.

This car was advertised in June 1976 in Model Railroader. The price was $12.95. The kit was simultaneously released in both the H- and the O-series.

Some, if not all, Heritage series kits were issued in a limited production. This was advertised as a 5,000 kits model, but a seller on eBay claimed that only 2,000 kits were made according to the embossed seal on the instruction sheet. The plans included in the kit were embossed with a seal and featured the Ambroid's Heritage Collection number and individual model number.

This kit was later sold by Gloor Craft as kit #525.
