Wow, I did not realize I have been looking for a car with the pre-1952/3 REA paint scheme for 5 years

Thanks, guys.  I have already expanded my layout’s era from 1949 to “late 40s”, specifically 1947-49.  But I am not going into the 50s so no diamond.  The ARE scheme was long gone by WWII.

I may buy that GGD 54’ reefer in the scheme I want, even though that particular car was not painted that way until late 1950.  Or not.  I have all three of the GGD silver/green cars, which is really plenty.

Weaver made Pennsy REA box cars in green and Tuscan with NO REA herald.  Only the Pennsy Keystone with "Riaiway Express Agency" spelled out right under the PRR Keystone. This matches up to my REA reference book "Railway Express" An Overview by V.S. Roseman.

According to my inventory have five id'd as REA Frt and three as pass.  Unfortunately all my pics are on "silver" no digital.
