Mark Heiden wants to know the following:
Rock Island 27350-27849, 500 40ft PS-1 boxcars, built 1963. A prototype photo of RI 27560 is at:

I'd like to know the following:

1) What sort of trucks did these cars ride on?

2) What kind of running boards did these cars have?

3) How were they painted (eg-black ends and roof, unpainted roof, etc)?

4) What is a good paint and decal match for these cars?
