Looking for prototype photos of any NYC boxcar with this paint scheme.

Ugly fantasy scheme by K-Line, NYC car never existed.
I always repaint and decal these cars.
It's a helluva lot better looking than this:
This link http://www.canadasouthern.com/...C-MODELS-FREIGHT.htm states that two cars were painted in this scheme in September 1958, one being car #92102.
Interesting, learn something every day. I stand partially corrected.
So it was an experimental scheme by the NYC marketing dept..
Seems they often did things like that.
The old exp. scheme placed on a modern box car is still a fantasy.
Thanks for the update.

I doubt any manufacturer would make a model of that odd-ended boxcar just to make sure the paint scheme was accurately applied.
The paint scheme itself is therefore not fantasy.
All that needs to be done is to find a boxcar with the correct shell of those two done
in 1958,, match the paint, and get custom decals made....voila' a unique car.
