Regarding “smoke”

 

I've attached 18917 but it's probably a repaint - the "smoke" on the repaints was simplified compared
to the original design which had "wavy" smoke.

 

Right, C&O management, with the arrival of diesels, decided that they shouldn’t be showing wavy smoke signifying steam power, and simplified it to acknowledge the diesels.

You did notice that the MODEL and the PROTOTYPE have the same number right - 18499?

You have a picture of 18712?

Yes, Tim----

 

C&O 18712, from the second 500 with Superior 6P Sup 1 doors.  Same order from 6-52.  This car re-weighed 7-56.  Black ends, can't be sure about roof.

With black ends & roof? - I have several later color shots of these and there is no indication
that the ends or roof were black. Has anyone seen photos of them with black roof & ends?

My dealer just informed me that the Kadee C&O PS-1 boxcar painted for as delivered For Progress scheme in 1952 has been released.  This has been a moving target in the Kadee production schedule but good to see it done.
