[CBQ] re: Troop Kitchen cars in MoW service

["Gerald A. Edgar" <vje68@hotmail.com>]

I have slides taken of a # of these over the years - all but one were 
still in their original green = the exception was one in silver/grey 
(which was used on some ex-passenger equipment in MoW service beginning 
just before BN time). Generally, beginning in the early 50's, ex-frt 
cars in MoW service were nearly always orange but ex-pass cars could be 
orange or the silver/grey or original green.  Tank cars could be 
orange, silver/grey or black, usually the difference being if in 
potable water service or other use (fuel, used oil, etc).  best to pick 
up proto pics of the cars you wish to model.  Lots of prints out there 
and I've shared my MoW slides at a couple BRHS meet clinics over the 
yrs.  Gerald
