One of the Morning Sun NKP steam color books...Vol 3 I think...has a color roof shot. The photo is really of the dead steamers taken from the roof of one of these cars on the dead line so it has to be about 1960. Anyway, FWIW, the roof is rusted galvanized by that point in time. Bill Darnaby

There's a builder photo of NKP 87100, reprinted in the 1943 Car Builder Cyc. Maybe someone has the negative and or a hi-res scan? The photo sure makes the end and roof look black. I think some later NKP box cars had galvanized roofs with enameled seam caps On 7/20/2019 1:52 PM, Tom Madden via Groups.Io wrote: I bought this assembled and detailed P2K model on eBay five or

It's very well done with lots of extra detail and what I'm
almost certain is one of my 50' resin replacement Viking roofs.
But the roof is painted silver, and I thought those NKP cars had
black roofs. Was there a silver variation? Tom Madden Attachments: -- Tim O'Connor Sterling, Massachusetts
