In keeping with the subtle Rock Island undertones in today’s thread, here are some Rock Island cars I painted. You all have probably seen these before here…
This was a recent attempt at a modern RI car. The project went well until the clear coat darkened the paint, except under the decals…this one went back to the paint shop and returned as a N&W boxcar…
I will try another Blue RI car soon…

Tom, I like the green one a lot. I have not seen green before other than some dark green express boxcars. As for the Blue my dad always said good from far but far from good LOL. At any rate it's better than I could do. It's not my era either but I always loved the bankruptcy scheme.
