In my book in the section on Scale-Craft I included as many cars as I could with the original prewar decals they provided. They have a distinctive look and I think enhance the value of a model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, I have found a few more examples, beyond those in the book. These, in fact, all were in the same recently purchased lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First up we have boxcars. Could wish they were in better shape, but at least we can now see the L&N and B&O schemes on models. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next we have B&O again but on a nicely built hopper. Check out the car number, 012345 is pretty unlikely! Also depicted is the IC scheme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next is two of the same car, the Sinclair tank car. The builders took different approaches to putting the lettering behind the ladders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A caboose ends the survey of new models, it is an interesting comparison to the common Lionel model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This final car is in the book, and is a pretty common model, but this one is in uncommonly good shape other than a bent brake wheel. I’d like to point out as well, this one has the early version of the frame, which has the trucks set too far in from the ends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
