Thrall FURX Repaints
Era: 2010+
Prairie Shadows Model Railway Co. know they couldn’t get away with just producing 80s and 90s era schemes on these cars.. so here are the FURX repaints. These cars have a build date of 1989, but were repainted in the 2010s and feature piss stripes for the modern modeler. First Union has a ton of patch jobs on these cars, but the repaints seemed more fitting for this release.
