Very nice models. Are these from kits or did you have to decal them?
Thanks Charlie,
these models are Proto2000 Kits, painted with Tru-Color “MP covered hopper gray” and lettered with Microscale 87-493 from photographs.
So, the eagle was put on backwards on the MP hopper?
That’s why I’m even taken aback, but so were the decals in the set of Microscale.
Both in different direction.

All the freight cars I have seen, the eagle is pointing to the left.
Only on the Loks is the eagle pointing to the right on one side.
I count this as a very good job.
If you put the wheels on, you can come run in my train. https://youtu.be/PWhk9paVr8o
Careful, I started with two MP hoppers. Look where I ended!
On freight cars the eagle should always be facing to the right. I have contacted Microscale about the error and they acknowledged it. However I have seen one prototype locomotive that had the eagle facing the wrong way on the fireman side. Cars look great. I really like the CEI and the The Rock blue 4427s.
The gray looks great also and will have to pick some up.
Nate
Thank for the Info about the eagle.
I have to change it.
