doctorwayne's 2013 Get Off Your Duff Challenge - Part 1

Finally, these cars made it to the paint shop. I painted the car from the parts box first, then, a few days later, decided to re-paint the other two. I stripped the lettering and re-painted them, but couldn't remember which paint I had used on the new car, and naturally selected the wrong one. Must've been painted at a different shop, eh?

I have only a half-dozen of the small heralds which I normally use on house cars, and decided to save them, perhaps for some scratchbuilt equipment. I do, however, have a lot of larger ones from previously-ordered lettering sets, though, so these re-built cars represent an experimental use of a larger herald. In the '40s, the EG&E will use an even larger version on their latest steel boxcars (those would be the cars sold-off a couple of years ago).

Here are the three re-built ice service cars. Lettering is a mix of custom dry transfers from C-D-S, and decals from Rail Graphics and Champ:







This concludes Part 1 of my Challenge.
