Grain Loading Limit Stencils
This is a good photo of the fill lines stenciled inside a boxcar to indicate the limit for loading grain by type: http://lists.railfan.net/erielackphoto.cgi?erielack-09-30-18/X5239.jpg Probably something none of us would model, though. Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA

Speak for yourself, Bob, ;) Indeed, many times these lines were on the sides of the cars near, or opposite the doors. As I work on a board by board interior for my HO scale PRR X31A, I intend to have at least one door fully open to show off the interior and
thus it would likely need this stenciling. Note that the reason that I am doing this is that the restorer of a prototype PRR X31A sent me some floor boars, which I am turning into HO scale floor, side and end boards for this model.

Also of interest, at least for the unseen-interior-detail obsessive, is the inside door for the lumber door.

I created a PDF of floors an interior walls to print on light cardstock and glue inside a car. Guess I should add some of these marks near the door opening. BTW feel free to use the file.
