CUSTOM PAINTED/LETTERED ATLAS 4750 CVD HOPPERS

Christine J. Braden of CJB Custom Painting & Designs painted, lettered and numbered Walter Matuch's RMT (formerly K-Line) streamliners to match my 2348 M&StL GP9. Her email address is cbraden77@comcast.net. She posted photos of R. J. Corman diesels she painted. Two line drawings of F units in white faced each other on the red nose. Her work is outstanding.

She then painted a K-Line Diner and a Pullman (blue and silver boxes) that I found at the York Meet. Their window silhouettes had seen better days. She made and installed new ones.

Did you get this one...perhaps, not what you're looking for...???

SD60M,

Yes I got the 4 car set over time plus 1 extra 2 new some used,some 2rl most 3rl.

The scheme I'm looking for was done in the ' 80-'81 time frame with large L&N and SCL letters & the square "box with lettering," was moved to the right end of the car.

If there would be enough interest among modelers,possibly we could get Atlas to do a custom run.

There was also a block of cars done for SCL in the lettering scheme you show that's never been done. Those cars are BEAUTIFUL!!

Thank you,

Al Hummel

If you get anything going on a custom run...I think you can count me in.  I am paring my "stuff" down to mostly ACL, SAL, SCL, Family Lines...so, I am always interested in anything that crops up.  Are there photos available of the schemes to which you refer??

There were changes to the Family Lines graphics each time Pullman-Standard built a new lot of covered hoppers. You have to pick a specific number series or car lot.

They might be able to produce more railroad paint schemes now that they have the production in China going as quickly as possible.

SD60M,

I have photos of the cars but everytime I hit a picture it wants to upload the entire file." Ideas on how to get around this? I'll try to upload a model photo of the Prototype so if it uploads that file it doesn't matter. Here goes. Well I had 3 photos but only got 1 when I inserted all 3 @ full size in body,but this gives you an idea what I'm after.

Thank you & hope Atlas picks up on this soon.

SD60M&FALCOLN SERVICE:

Let's try the photos again,,as it didn't upload on the site thought it showed it went through.(?)

Andrew the lot numbers were 1110 for SCL hoppers&1110B for L&N/FLS hoppers.

It looks like these went through this time.(?)

Al Hummel

Thanks...I'd certainly like a few of those.
