The Rock Island 40′ boxcar fleet continues to grow. This is a Branchline 1500 series boxcar with a scratchbuilt door and reinforcement strip added to the carbody. The RI sold their 40′ cars to Evans where they were rebuilt in this configuration and then leased back to the railroad. Tru-Color makes the pale green color TCP-100 and Hubert Mask offers these RI speed lettering decals in his HO line. These are some of the most complete decals I’ve ever used. Weathering done with an airbrush and water based oils and odorless turpentine. Photos show the A and B ends of the model. I need to add the COTS and U-1 stencils and the ACI label before I can call it finished.
