Howdy all,
I recently picked up the following car at my LHS:

I have been looking for prototype photos to use for weathering, but no such luck online. I've checked RRPicturearchives, RR-fallenflags, NERAILS, Railcarphotos, Railpictures, and google images. Ive seen one B&W youtube video with these cars, but nothing in color.
Would anyone happen to have color images of one I could reference? it would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Mike
Modeling whatever I can make out of that stash of kits that takes up half my apartment's spare bedroom.
Tadaa? Posted the scaletrains pic here too for everyone. My prototype photo offering isnt that close, but I tried.
I'm beginning to realize that Windows 10 and sound decoders have a lot in common. There are so many things you have to change in order to get them to work the way you want.
If I can't find a pic of the exact type I'm looking for, I fall back on identical equipment in different owners hands. Generally speaking, they experienced similar wear and tear types and patterns.

Good suggestion, after a little more looking I found some photos of TP&W cars in a similar red, in about the same time frame that should work. Thanks NL!
