I recently assembled two Proto 2000 Automobile Double Door 50' Steel Boxcar kits. I want to paint and letter them for the GTW.  What was the color of the under frame and truck? I made a search on the Internet but found no clear photos of the prototype. In the same era, CNR boxcars were some Boxcar Red all over, body, under frame and trucks. What about the GTW?

I see some RTR models with Red under frame, other with Black one, all with Black trucks. But every modeler knows that even the best RTR are not always prototypical.

Micro-Mark used to carry a camera you could mount to a flat car and a receiver that hooked directly to a TV or monitor, no laptop or cell phone required but has now discontinued it and won't share who their supplier was. Anybody know where this or a similar product can be bought?
Thanks, Mike

I am a French speaking Canadian so English is my second language. I know that more than one goose are geese. What about more than one caboose? Cabooses or cabeese? I am seeing both on the web. What is the correct word?

    this is what happens when the desert has rain , not exactly my back door but the edge of town .

while waiting for a order from B.E.S.T. to finish farmhouse  I finished this , its a section house from a back issue if MR. the roofing didn't turn out in my opinion the best it was the first time I used B.E.S.T. shingles , used there cap strip but will not use it again , don't look good to me. the doors , windows and spool detail are tichy,  and yes the plans had the extension  on the chimney must have had trouble with poor draft on stove. sorry for the crappie photos but I never have mastered the digital camera.
