    Here is my ‘Bankruptcy blue’ boxcar. RI sold several 40′ boxcars to USRE where they were rebuilt and then leased back to the RI. I’m adding a few 40′ boxcars to the 1980s operations as they were somewhat common during the late 1970s and I don’t want a lot of long 50′ cars on the branch.

    This is a factory painted Intermountain kit that I removed the tabs below the carbody and added a 2″ X 10″ piece of Evergreen styrene to match the prototype rebuilding by USRE. I’ll add some weathering at some point to tone down the bright color.

    Am working on a Branchline 8′ door car where it will be painted PC green. Mask Island makes a decal set for the green boxcar.
