EJ&E box car decals?
|
Gatwood, Elden J SAD
All;
Does anyone out there know of a source for the EJ&E "Billboard" box car - orange over green, green over orange, all green with orange lettering or all orange with green lettering, in HO? I have a Sunshine mini-kit that I desperately would like to do in a post-54 paint scheme... Also, I understand the earliest green box cars on the EJ&E happened right after delivery of their Baldwin DT 6-6-20 center cab diesels, which was in what year? And is this a true statement? Thanks all, Elden Gatwood

And is this a true statement?I don't know for sure if this statement is true, but the 1948 EJ&E box cars do appear to have been solid green, and most of the center cabs were delivered in 1948 (the first was built in 1946). Whether there may have been earlier all-green box cars, prior to 1948, I don't know.

Thanks, Tony! That makes the green EJ&E cars good for many folks on this

list. And if the statements that the orange over green cars came along in 1952, that makes the absence of all of these EJ&E box cars on the market as all the more of a mystery! BTW, nice job on the data for the article in RPCyc. I never knew there were black SP gons in that group of cars! Elden Gatwood

Martin was selling his overstock of orange EJ&E decals for that mini-kit. I have a couple of friend who model the 60s setting on theirs waiting for decals to do the half orange half green paint scheme.
