Decals for 1930's boxcars?
Those are the Reading XMV class. They are not typical 1937 AAR cars. They were built by the Reading shops. If you were looking for typical 1937 cars, tabbed sills, Murphy roof etc. they aren’t them. T

The Reading didn’t have any 10’ IH AAR boxcars, assuming you mean the 1937 AAR car. For NKP decals K4 decals have done sets that could be pieced together. Resin car works has one for a wood car that m

Not the F33 requires several changes if using the F&C kit as enumerated by Bruce Smith if I recall. I hope it was Bruce. It a reason mine is still languishing in the box. Brian J. Carlson

Decaling and future
I took a look at the car while heading to bed tonight and I believe rich is correct. It had been drying for about two hours by then, and I’m very happy to report that everything looked like it should.

Tichy GSC Flatcar
This is one of those weird times when the Walthers car captures the look of the GSC prototype better. The tichy car molding is too sharp for a casting imho. I was going to do a Pennsy car at one time,
