    Default Double NS Question( Sort Of )

    Well, since I play on The ORTS, I figured I'd Post It here. Now, are there any( Am looking mainly for The Ones that go on The Ex-SRY HC 60 Ft. BoxCars NS has still in Blue ) Repaints with Black Letters & Numbers with White Box-ish backgrounds? Also, My Second Question's are there( or were ) CR Blue with White Letter PS-2 3-Bay Covered Hoppers? I mean granted, They had several, but did They use The Blue @ all till The Merger? Any Help on Either Question would be a Big Help & Thanks ahead of Time.

    Are you referring to the NS ones like the one I provided in this package?
    neps_boxcarset3_addon2.zip

    I knew of the 50' ex SRY and MRL, but didn't know about any 60' ones that NS purchased.

    Ok, then It's 50' HC? I've re-looked & I do indeed already have them( oops, thanks for Reminding & making It even after all these Years ), but what about Any CR Blue ( like The Bethgons were mainly I think ), PS-2 ( or would it be CR Quality & Blue?

    I did see they had some light blue ones as well. I can see what I can come up with in some future packages, but at the moment, I don't see any of these up my way, so high quality photos are currently out of the question..

    Ok, You've usually always been someone Who Does Give Out Rare, Special & New Repaints Alike. Would you be willing to get @ least one Repaint done on The ( Ted C./FFHardWare ) Coil Steel Flat New NS Black that's Recently been Released? I see them pass by often. Just wondering. Thanks.

    I'll be honest, I haven't ventured into Coil Cars. Only a handful of times I have seen them, and they were at night, so I wasn't able to ever get personal photos of them. I normally stick to stuff I see from day to day operations. Which is why I haven't ventured into further locomotive repaints such as UP or BNSF, I rarely, if at all, see them in the New England region, and now that I am in Northern Maine, I only see typical Guilford junkers, beat and battered CPRail units, and the usual daily busted power of the NBM.

    Alright. Not asking for this, but The Short-Line Next door The Other Day had an Ex-CP PacMan Black 4-Bay Cynd. Covered Hopper, now a Leaser belonging to OFOX.

    I've seen a lot of former CP, SOO, etc now owned by OFOX. CP has been purging their fleet of old Government of Canada grain cars, for others, and have also done the same with a lot of their old SOO LINE 3 bays.

    Ian I believe did a handful of the newer CP and CN logo grain hoppers that represent the ones in place of the old.
