I'm trying to nail down if the heavyweight coach/chair cars would still be lettered in Gold Leaf or they had changed to Dulux Gold in 1950. I'm assuming it would be a mix - depending on when the car

I was searching through the Microscale on-line catalogue and I confirmed that, apparently, the only source of RR Roman passenger car decals is the now defunct Champ decals. Is that correct? Anyone kn

Steve has a point. Those domes were brand new in 1955. The paint looks pretty washed-out for 1958 - 60. Rich G. The interesting thing about this picture and the one following is the ratty condition o

Upon further review, you can see 4 Great Northern cars. Starting May 11th 1967 the GN started painted passenger cars in the "Big Sky Blue" paint scheme. This did take a long time and I don't think al
