<p>While the 42'6" NSC coil cars are real, those steel company paint schemes on them are fantasy. They do look pretty cool though. I kinda wondered if US Steel, AK Steel, et. al actually did have cars like that at first but after diggin' through rrpicturearchivess.net I came to the conculsion those were fantasy paint schemes. It kind of reminds me of how back in the day you used to see all kinds of model freight cars lettered for all kinds of products (i.e. a boxcar painted up for Champion sparkplugs, tanker cars painted with coca cola paint schemes.). It will drive the rivet counters crazy but if you like `em I see no harm in them. I'd get them but I'm not sure if 42'6" NSC coil cars fit my era which is the 1990s. Or then again maybe I can bump my timeframe up a few years once in a while.[:-,]</p>
