Trucolor for UP caboose Mineral before 1937's Synthetic Red?
About ready to do a batch of cabeese in O for my little setup in 1935 - 3 each of CA & CA-1. Maybe more?
What would be a good approximation for:
1934 repaint - fairly decent, not too weather worn -

Brian,
The book layout was over three-hundred pages in length . . . even in a brief format like used in the C&O Hops and Gons book. In todays world, the numbers of buyers drops off drastically

Re: Pere Marquette and C&O steel boxcar paint query
How many did they need to sell. That seems like a decent run for the subject matter. I too have the book. I'm curious if Tony Thompson would comment on press run sizes. I too would buy a boxcar book.
