Since I model 1954, I had to scroll through a couple of pages to find a freight car not oxide red, but I found one.

Please show another freight car not painted yellow.

Kevin: "Please show another freight car not painted yellow."

How about two freight cars painted NYC Jade Green.

Another freight car or two, not green or yellow.

Here is a silver tank car as seen on the Southern O Scaler's "Railroad In The Round" display layout.

OK... Show me another Freight Car, any color except silver, green, yellow, or gray.

Enter your post below.

Heres some blue and maroon, from the B&CCS!

This is getting harder now... more freight cars of any color except silver, green, yellow, gray, or blue.

Check out the Balfour and Colucci Creek Southern Railroad, my proto-freelanced N scale model railroad, at bccsrailroad.weebly.com or on Youtube on my channel, N Scale Train Boy.

Boxcar red is not one of those.

 

Please show a gray freight car.

Missouri Pacific Boxcars were all painted Boxcar Red, but supposedly this car was in an accident in Mexico, and after repairs was painted in gray paint rather than the Boxcar Red.

Show me a gold freight car!

Yes there is, in 1966 the Bulington Shops output for one day were painted gold to commemerate the railroad winning an award.

How about a black box car!

The Nickel Plate Road had, I believe ten, aluminum box-express cars that had a "silver" appearance:

This one is a slightly modified Rivarossi RPO...
 
 
In addition to the barred windows, I added a couple more windows in the baggage/mail storage area, to match a CNR prototype.

I think I can scrounge one up. The Capitol Limited used them in the early-streamlined era:
