Gatwood, Elden J SAD
Chuck;
My kit, build, which was cruelly stolen, but originally gifted to me by Ed Hawkins, had decals. Given the commentary on how flawed that kit was, and the challenges of assembling that kit, I am amazed you also put that SOB together.
Given the wanderings of these “Steel Road” box cars in tin plate, steel sheet, etc., I m astounded more people have not got onboard the necessity of having these cars and others on their roads.
Great job!

Thanks for the kind words Elden. The EJ&E boxcar is indeed an ancient Sunshine #11.1. I love the way it looks next to the larger boxcars that dominate most 1950s layouts. I think the kit came without decals, so I used the Tichy.
