Jeff,
Never saw a car in that series painted either the Atlas color
or orange. Go to the SP&S car on that page and you will be
close to the right color.
Also never saw a car with trucks painted to match the car sides.
Only one "loading line" on car. They had at least two, slag, and
sand or gravel. Not very sure about the herald either. I know
the composites were just white with no black background, would
have to say these would be the same. Even in the mid sixties
some of these cars were so beat up that they had lost most of
their lettering. A few were so bad that you had to do a memory
job on a rollby check. You can't look at both sides and both ends
while the train is moving.
Some of these cars were still in ballast or beet service into the
early 80's. Some with patch BN numbers but some without.
Can not see the quality of the casting of the doors from those
photos. That is the real test of a model of this type of car.
As for paint scheme if they were working from a photo it was not
of a typical, or possibly any, car.

Subject: [BRHSlist] Atlas Q Hart Ballast cars
Hi all;
Just got an Atlas news flash that will make everyone
happy....
A mineral red Q paint job on the Hart ballast car!
Cut and paste the link below into the address line of
your browser. Be sure to get the whole thing - the
text may have wrapped to the next line.
My question-
Would this scheme still be acceptable for the late
1960's or should I stick with my undecs and paint them
orange?
Thanks!
