It clearly indicates that the boxcar I have never had such a logo even after 1963, the year the logo was adopted.</p> <p><em>"This car shows one of the "as built" 42000 series cars after it had been converted to single-door and renumbered in CV's 43000-series. Note the "pregnant tapeworm" CV is centered on the door - it never appeared on the body of CV's single-sheathed boxcars despite what some model railroad manufacturers have offered over the years." (Marty McGuirk)</em></p> <p> </p> </div> </blockquote> <div class="quote-footer"> </div> <p> </p> <p>It seems that this statement is not exact. Here is a photo of a 43000 serie boxcar with the  noodle logo clearly visible. </p> <p><img style="display:inline;" src="http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/papillonguy/Trains/CV%20Box%20car_zpssdw8v9be.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>Source : Funaro & Camerlengo</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>To clarify:</p> <p>The Noodle is on the door, its not on the body of the car.  </p> <p>What Im reading above is:</p> <p>The noodle was applied to rebuilt cars that were renumbered from 42000 to 43000 series.</p> <p>So</p> <p>A 42000 series car should not have a noodle.</p> <p>A 43000 series car may have a noodle, but it would only appear on the door of the car to be accurate.</p> <p>What is not immidiately clear is if the rebuilt cars retained wood doors.  My guess is no.</p> <p>Edit:</p> <p>I should probably stop reading half the posts before replying....[#oops]</p>
