To All: I deleted my previous post on this car. This is now the correct photo of this car. I got the idea for this scheme from an ad in Model Railroader magazine for an N scale boxcar. To get the herald for my version in HO I reduced a picture from a book by 50% and glued it on the car with super glue. I will not weather the car so as to represent a new car from the manufacturer.

          his Great Lakes Northern layout.

          roads in my chosen era in E. St.Louis, it takes a lot of them! Fortunately I already
