Show me another freight car not painted in the same style as normally seen. GREAT NORTHERN circus cars, experimental paint schemes, unusual repaints, whatever.

Have fun!

Here is an experimental NYC scheme from 1958, two cars were painted in this scheme a 40' and a 50'. The NYC then went to the Jade Green with the Cigar Band logo.  I prefer this one.

 

Show me another experimental or one of a kind paint scheme.

The rules state that if no one posts a picture fulfilling the last request within 24 hours, anyone can post whatever picture they want and make a new request.

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.

This is the only freight car owned by the DOWN SOUTH AND BACK that was painted black. This car was badly damaged, and in the repair shop all they had was black paint, so it received black sides, but the roof and ends were left boxcar red. The lettering is standard to the rest of the cars in this series.

Please show me another one-of-a-kind freight car paint scheme.

Ed: "Another custom or special paint job, please."

An old photo, (before the number boards), NYC E8 #4053, one of three locomotives painted in the Central's proprietary Jade Green.

More special or unusual paint schemes, please.

One of a kind boxcar, supposedly this car was damaged in Mexico and they repainted there with gray rather than boxcar red paint.

 

More unusual, one of the kind or custom paint schemes!

OK, this is a legitimate one-of-a-kind STRATTON AND GILLETTE boxcar. I created this special paint scheme and donated this car to the Model Railroader staff hoping it might find a home on the MILWAUKEE RACINE AND TROY layout.

.

I will subscribe to Model Railroader for the rest of my life hoping to see this boxcar in a picture of the MR&T layout!

Show me another bright red boxcar.
