I want to paint and letter the following covered hopper in HO scale.

Does anyone know what the red, white and blue lettering is just to the left of center at the bottom of the side?
Also, does anyone know what NCMC stands for?
NCM is a plastics products manufacturer in Grundy Center Iowa. The company name is NCM . No idea what the MCM could stand for.

Another plastic product manufacture listed in Britt is probably owned by them.
Lifetime Nut Covers Inc

Britt, IA 50423
Phone : (641) 565-3566
They make plastic covers that fit over the lug nuts on big rig wheels and other automotive related plastic products.
It’s a North America Car logo, indicating that the car is leased from North American.
It’s included in this Microscale set of freight car builder/leasor logos:

Thanks for the information. Does anyone have a close up picture of the North American Car logo?
