Re: [CBQ] Question about C&S box car paint & lettering

["Nelson Moyer" <npmoyer@hotmail.com>]

Tim, it depends upon what date you wish to model.  C&S 1513 was part of XM-32E 
series 1500-1799 built in 1957. Chinese Red was phased in starting in 1959. 
Original paint was mineral red. Take your choice.

Subject: [CBQ] Question about C&S box car paint & lettering


http://www.protocraft.com/images/542.jpg

The Protocraft web site says this car ^ is painted Chinese Red color. But I 
have images of two C&S box cars #1027 and #1134 that are painted in a 
simplified box car red scheme with a plain white Burlington Route stencil 
herald and no slogans, and I also have an image of C&S #1162 in the more 
conventional Chinese Red paint scheme with the Everywhere West slogan and the 
large billboard BURLINGTON to the left of the door.

Can anyone confirm the paint color applied to #1513?

Thanks!

Tim O'Connor
