Rock Island motor baggage car #9006 in 1/29

Started another motor car in 1/29.
Rock Island's #9006 was shop-built using a PS heavyweight, two diesels of 400hp each and a pair of  two-axle power trucks.

A picture of the protoype can be seen here:

As usual (and in this case, prototypically) an Aristo HW was used for the shell & roof (the rest of the HW will be used to stretch another one to prototypical 85' length). Trucks are from an USA-trains NW-2 with several modifications.
