[CBQ] Re: CB&Q sign

["bodiebill" <cpaulus2@att.net>]

Hey; Thanks a Bunch Archie!  It looks about right for a 50' double-door boxcar 
with outside bracing, according to the attachment points.  The only thing I 
can't tell from freight car pictures is if the signs are made of metal or some 
kind of resin like mine is.  The size is spot on though.  Thanks again, and I 
will take good care of it!
