Hello, sad to read this. I, too have one of these since this is the only 50' "outside-braced" box car made in brass. I already did some upgrades and want to replace the end ladders as these are only p

Paul, many thanks to you too! Nice pic of an attractive paint scheme, but as you already may have seen, Tim O'Connor sent exactly what I was looking for. A silver SP box car like this doubtless looks

Lots of thanks, Tim! This is PERFECT! :-) The file name even says "1948-1954 style paint scheme"! Many greetings Johannes Modeling the early post-war years up to about 1954 Gesendet: Samstag, 24. Apri
