EXR 5200 Gunderson Box Car - six new paint schemes.

[wcfn100]

Well crap, I just had to go poking my nose around the pictures of the EXR MN&S car.  There are a couple of things to point out.  First is the "return to" stencil.  The only picture I've seen had red letters, while the EXR car has white on red.  Okay, not a big deal I guess.  Without knowing, I can believe that they could have changed this for readability.

The second thing doesn't make much sense to me.  The 'New" date is "11-66", but the build date is "1-71".  ???

Maybe the MS decal will still come in handy.

Odd, given that this is the very car they used for the model pic:

Not as bad as the recurring Conrail goof I guess! ;D

Oh man, that's really bad. :

The MicroScale decals will come in handy.
