Reply to "Atlas is making separate-sale Unlettered Heavyweight Madison Passenger Cars in Pullman Green"

If only they were doing them in tuscan instead of green, I'd be on board. I've had a very rare set of Soo Line passenger train decals for years waiting for some tuscan cars to put them on (assuming the decals are still good!). I rode one of the last Soo Line passenger trains as a youngster; the Soo used only tuscan (more or less) heavyweights.

Not a huge deal to repaint them. This car was Tuscan. Plus you don’t have pay 100 bucks per car rather a fraction of that.

Consider this. If you buy an unlettered car with the intention of lettering it you have to prepare it for decals which usually means spraying a gloss, then overspraying the decals. That car has to be disassembled to do this. Repainting a car to a different color requires the same amount of disassembly.
