South Buffalo

Hugh Guillaume
 

White lettering is completely incorrect. When I worked at K-Val Hobbies in
Buffalo we had Third Rail Graphics do three runs of South Buffalo hoppers,
total of nine road numbers. We used an Athearn car. We also used official
South Buffalo Ry painting and lettering diagrams and drawings that we obtained
directly from the engineering people in Bethlehem, Pa. I handled all the
phone calls and correspondence between K-Val and Bethlehem Steel. Somewhere I
still have the drawings that came from Bethlehem. I can state categorically
that the material direct from the company specified an yellow color for the
lettering.

Kadee announced they are releasing the 2 bay offset hopper in South Buffalo stock #7024 - ( was hoping they would do this road). Problem is, the lettering on the model is white.

Any South Buffalo car I've seen has always had yellow lettering.

Does anyone know if there were any cars painted white lettering ?

You guys are right! Has anyone informed Kadee? They may still have time to
correct it before they get printed.
