Thinking about it, the full-color high-resolution printing of the Life magazine box cars is amazing. It is a completely new technology that is on a different level from conventional pad printing. It is similar to Kadee’s commemorative freight cars. I wonder if the weathering of Athearn and Micro-Trains in recent years is also done with this technology. Does anyone know anything about it?

I got the 47th Presidential car from MTL/Accurail. The printing on the sides is different for the medal and portrait, and there is a thickness to the full color on the portrait. Does anyone know about this technology?
As an aside, it looks like Accurail has changed the box.

Have you ever seen this in a model shop?
The roof color and door width are different from what Kadee itself shows (#6910 KDC Diagram Car (kadee.com)).
