Almost anything can be done if you throw enough money and time into it.
Getting paint to behave in those tight spaces would be the second challenge.
I suspect you would have to really hate decals to

Re: Rutland House Car Color
Bill, From what I have read on some of the Rutland sites, including RPI (NEB&W), they were painted Rutland Cherry Red, which is 50% Box Car Red and 50% Caboose Red

Re: Hopper Car Photo
Could the Fox trucks just be shop trucks?
They were pretty much gone by 1946, and were not being used in new construction.

Hopper Car Photo
I would guess it is a in-plant car purchased secondhand from some dealer. The car doesn't have a pressed or fabricated end sill reinforcement, so it is likely from the 1903-early '04 production

Rutland House Car Color
I am preparing to paint my F&C Rutland Stock Car and I am hoping someone here familiar with that RR's practice can comment on what color was used on their Boxcars and Stock Cars? I am not interested

Re: Kadee code 88 wheels.
Please let me ask a dum question. I have been using NWSL
.088 wheel sets for more years than I choose to admit. I have
used them since before the IMR, Kadee, and Rebox .088 wheel
sets were ever

Re: Latest run of Intermountain (Wegmann) HO PFE Rebuilt Reefers
I was very fortunate that Terry Wegmann was a friend. I bought a bunch of kits from him when he first produced them. When he sold the tooling to Intermountain I bought some of the assembled cars.
