Intermountain is now advertising two GN plywood panel boxcars. No. 46051 BLT 9-45 is labeled "original" & is green with orange sides. No. 46052 BLT 9-45 labeled "mineral red" is apparently all box car red.
Has anyone seen these cars "in the flesh?" If yes, are there any really egregious inaccuracies?
Apparently these cars were numbered in series 10000-10499 & 10500- 10899. One of the first series and two of the second series appear on the Landmesser hot box list so I think I should have a couple on my model railroad.
I infer that "original" means the as delivered paint scheme.
If this inference is correct the question is, when were the GN plywood panel boxcars repainted mineral red?
BTW, it is always September 1950 on my model railroad.
