feature on the 1955 cars. The 1950 cars were like the Branchline kits with eight rung ladders. I don't have RJM 9/1990. Does the photo show the horizontal rivets? I'll have to double check next time I find an inconsistency. I plan to build the 1955 version from a BLT GARX plug door kit. RJM had GAEX decals in the 3/1990 issue. Has anyone offered them since then? Doug Brown -----Original Message-----

I don't have immediate access to any ORERs between these dates to find out when the cars were renumbered. The RI Color Guide shows a photo of 110012 but this is a 1967 photo. The book states the cars were leased (GAEX reporting marks) before RI took ownership. That being the case, the prototype cars built by General American in the early 1950s had Duryea underframes and straight side sills. Perhaps Steve Hile can shed some more information about these cars, however, it's probably going to be post-1960 data and outside the scope of this forum. Railmodel Journal published a couple of articles on cars of this type in 1990-91. Regards, Ed Hawkins |

Folks, in my decal bin I discovered an Oddballs Set #187-450 for a
green "RI 50' Boxcar (3-51), Series 110012-110024, Proto 2000 Kit". I'm a sucker for neat decals, so I am sure I bought it without much thought to the car. But now that I have rediscovered this set can someone please help steer me to the correct car to match the decal? Time to use them. And what commercial paint might match or come close to the "dark green" suggeted by the set? Bill McClure Richmond |
