I’m waiting to see if photos of GCL cars surface as per another inquiry. If nothing turns up to follow, I’m thinking about having some fantasy decals made, that’s how bad I want some GCL cars. The boxcar would be something like the standard pre-eagle MP scheme, except instead of MP it would be “GCL” with Gulf Coast Lines” spelled out above. Where the buzz saw is would be a GCL herald, which would be white on a black background, like the classic NYC and CB&Q heralds.

Not prototypical, but pretty neat though, huh? Any comments? Anybody want some?
