It was applied to both but was the first scheme used on the red cars according to the B&O Historical Society info.

I've just received a couple of the Fox cars with the 13 Great States herald in brown paint. Do you mean to say that the 13 Great States herald was ONLY applied to the "red" cars and NOT the brown?? I thought the Fox Valley cars were all correct. Vince Altiere In a message dated 10/22/2011 12:53:50 P.M.

The red color was adopted post WII and is being used by FVM with the appropriate P/L schemes. The brown cars did run into the 50's until being repainted. Equally important for those of us modeling the mid to late 1940's pproximately when was the brighter red first used? I, too, have noted the ifference and it can add variety to a freight train but I do not wish to use it nd than find it did not come into general use until after 1948.
