All in one box today. Don’t care for the color of the stripe on the orange hopper. Black would have been better.

Stripe Looks ok.. ..
Nice cars..
Unfortunately that's the end of Tinplate TCA Convention cars, at least for a few years.

I got my hoppers yesterday, but I did not get the boxcars from 2018. Perhaps today?

That purple stripe does look weird. You could get some black striping tape from a hobby shop (or automotive) and cover it over.
I also received all four in one box. The NH cars are quite nice!

The cars look nice, even the hopper with the purple stripe.
of course if you don't like it, send it back, simple.

Regarding using striping tape, Steve, I've used it on a number of occasions in different colors with fine results. If the tape was too shiney, I just sprayed some dull-cote on it to tone it down a little before applying it. They're available in different widths, and of course the tape can be removed later if desired without any damage to the underlying paint.
I'd try my hand at painting the purple stripe, unless of course it was a highly collectable piece that I had intentions of selling in the future.

I’ll live with it. Just think it was a poor choice. As far as collectibility that went out the window with the box.
