These 40’ standard box cars with single doors are painted box car red with black and white logos, white slogans and white lettering. They were built in June 1942 by Pressed Steel Car Co., serviced in October 1949, and run on Bettendorf trucks. These cars were part of a large order of all-steel boxcars built to meet the demands of WWII traffic. In 1949, at least 150 cars from series 147750-148549 were repainted into this unique paint scheme stenciled with “Rocket Freight Service” on the “Route of the Rockets”.
So I want to model this:http://www.danstrainyard.us/webphotos/conrail/SD40-2/CR%206366%20Altoona%201%204%2009001.JPGWhat would they be used for in the NS era?
Damn those SD40E's look nothing like a SD40-2, more like a SD50.Does NS currently use SD40-2's for anything other than helpers?Thinking if I buy a set to detail up I will just sell them on e-bay.
Screw it, I just bought a NS... If it works out maybe I will do a CR paint out to sell as a set.
