12 panel car in mineral red (Per the Ed Hawkins caption) with the lettering and Youngstown doors (RPC 8 page 85). That is the car I want to model. Brian J. Carlson, P.E. Cheektowaga NY -----Original Message-----

Subject: [STMFC] Re: GN Empire Builder Lettering I do not believe IM has done a 12 panel car in mineral with EB lettering. If you wanted to do one, Microscale supplies the lettering in their set 87-185. Champ used to have it in set HB-308 which appears to be unavailable. However, it's possible it shows up in their set HB-429--I don't have that set, so I can't say for sure. Staffan (or otherts) may correct me on this, but I believe the first showing of the EB style lettering happened on newly painted Vermilion cars and that the same lettering on mineral cars happened later. If so, then you can drop the mineral/EB project too. Ed Edward Sutorik |
