Ray:

It is good to hear that someone has built one of the NKP car 'kits'! Your use 
of existing 60-
foot  car components is worth considering. particularly with the abundance of 
Walthers 
coaches and combines. 

I believe that the first application of the ribbon-style, or spaghetti-style, 
lettering was 
about 1951. I do not have a specific date that aluminum paint was fisrt applied 
to 
heavyweight equipment handy, but suspect that it was about the same time. I 
beleive that 
RPO and RPO-baggage cars painted in aluminum were intended for specific 
assignments. 

Come to think of it, was a Q 60-foot RPO ever painted  aluminum?

Regards,

Ed DeRouin
