Clark,

It is an authentic paint job of the body, and the lettering scheme is correct, but the wrong lettering color (white portion is correct, but the rest of it should be blue, not black).

See Railway Prototype Cyclopedia Vol. 6, p. 17 (black & white photo of a similar car, text of this scheme in the note attached to this photo ).

A friend bought me the attached car thinking I'd like it. Flash Sells! Anyway, is this the car there's some controversy over whether it was really painted this way or just an artist painting it on the negative?
Was it a real paint scheme or not?

Thanks,
