Thanks for the kind words John. I am not sure whose trucks are on the NC&StL boxcar. I have a supply of different trucks that I look through with each build and try to match what I see for the prototype.
Years ago, I also had a box of Kilgore trucks. They were great and very smooth and free rolling.

Hi Chuck, are those Kilgore trucks??? I used to have a whole bunch of them back in the 1980s. Great model--one of a kind.

Chuck, Ted Culotta did this car with a kitbash in his latest PRM. It’s worth a read if you haven’t seen it

Thanks Paul,
I had been looking for this 36’ boxcar kit for a long time. For weathering I use mostly artist acrylic paints in thin washes which makes it easier to control the amount of tint that is applied over the base freight car color.

That’s a really nice model I like the weathering and reverse Hutchins ends.

Nice looking model! Wondering how many other builders ran the retainer pipe straight down astride the end ladder. Sure would make it easier to model.

There are some 52 individual messages concerning K4 decals in our archives. Not sure if this qualifies as "much" discussion.

I have not seen much discussion of the K4 decals. Have others used them and what has been your experience? Thanks Chuck Cover Santa Fe, NM
