Spoke with Mr. Hawkins and he confirms these to be the closest choice! I have
assembled one RibSide and understand they are not quite right! Must say that my
preference is american made but some choices are not.

I had to touch up a few spots, and used Scalecoat oxide red with a little
Scalecoat BC red #1 mixed in. I know that probably doesn't help if you're not a
Scalecoat guy. I'd really like to be a Floquil water-based paint guy but I can't
seem to ever get it to work right.

I'm going to have a close look at this car with my RP Cyc in hand this week. At
first glance it looks alright.

How about a selection of which paint for touch up. Mine has a spot on the top

Gentlemen,

FYI, if you have any of the Exactrail Milwaukee "ribside" box cars and you
desire to replace the car's wheelsets with P88 wheelsets, the Intermountain P88

wheels are an exact match for the kit's Barber trucks.
