Nelson,
Microscale has a great set for these. They have the dashed stencil breaks on 
the herald's frame.

  I have three Walthers 932-7560 four window wood cabooses that resemble the
  photos I've seen of NE-1, NE-2, NE-4, NE-7, NE-8 and NE-9 way cars. Are
  there any external spotting features to differentiate these five classes?
  They all look pretty much the same to me. I have the number series for each
  class, and I can't decide which series to use for a 1949-1953 vintage
  layout. I don't have build dates or retirement dates for each class.

  I know that some of the four window 30 ft. NE-1 way cars were rebuilt with
  steel frames, and these cars lasted into the late 1960s. Color photos of
  NE-2, NE-4, NE-7, NE-8 and NE-9 way cars taken in the 1960 up to 1970 appear
  in Spoor's CB&Q Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment, so some cars
  of each class survived past the steam era.

  I'd appreciate any information that would guide me into detailing, painting,
  and decaling these models.
