New Haven RPO-baggage car

In the years just after World War 2, A. C. Gilbert reintroduced its American Flyer HO scale line, this time with plastic cars. The New Haven RPO*-baggage combine car shown below was available in sets and separately. This car lacks couplers; I may add Mantua passenger couplers to use this with my two John English coaches already so equipped.
