Historic Paint Schemes We All Would Have Like To See the Railroads Apply onto This Body Style!

They Sure Would Have Been Eye Catching and Increased Shipper Awareness

Back when the Railroads had more interest in their image to the public, they spent a lot of time and effort on eye-catching paint schemes to raise awareness in the public's mind when it came to choose a travel partner, or a shipping agent. Since the industry has changed (no more passenger or parcel service on the railroads), those days are gone.

Well, here's a really big "What IF?" What if the colorful railroads of the past survived merger fever, and were still around today?

"What IF?" the passenger trains of the past were still running and advertising their serviceson America's steel freight routes?

"What If?" those beautiful blank car sides carried the pride and color of heir owners?

These sets are our answer to those "What OF?" questions. Yes, it isn't quite prototypical, but it is representative of what might have been in a better railroad world. We offer these to you, because it's YOUR railroad,and you can create any world you like here in model railroad land.
