Thinfilm does mostly passenger car decals. The Arrowhead water bottle car decals were done by George Huckbee. Paul C. Koehler _____ From: STMFC@...

Answering my own question - There's a builder's photo in Kaminski's P-S freight car book, p. 51. Car has seven-rung ladders and conventional double truss coil-spring trucks. Ron Merrick

Can someone point me to a photo of the PS-0 cars from CGW 90000-90049? I set out to build one of the F&C kits and the CGW color guide only has photos of the later ones with round-corner ends and
