Howdy all,

I recently picked up the following car at my LHS:

https://www.scaletrains.com/products/ho-evans-usre-5100-rbl-8-double-plug-door-boxcar-vermont-railway-vtr-1

I have been looking for prototype photos to use for weathering, but no such luck online. I’ve checked RRPicturearchives, RR-fallenflags, NERAILS, Railcarphotos, Railpictures, and google images. Ive seen one B&W youtube video with these cars, but nothing in color.

Would anyone happen to have color images of one I could reference? it would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

Tadaa? Posted the scaletrains pic here too for everyone. My prototype photo offering isnt that close, but I tried.

If I can’t find a pic of the exact type I’m looking for, I fall back on identical equipment in different owners hands. Generally speaking, they experienced similar wear and tear types and patterns.

Good suggestion, after a little more looking I found some photos of TP&W cars in a similar red, in about the same time frame that should work. Thanks NL!
