Reply to "Early Piggyback project (1940-1957) late steam early diesel & some of the very first 85-89' cars in 1957-1959!"

The later Ringsby design is also on the list.

Looking at the Fred Gruin reference I find more overlooked issues. The use of the font set from the earlier non-rocket design is erroneous. I adjusted this to the photos of the "Rocket" design.

I still believe once the model is decorated nobody will ever be the wiser that it may not be absolutely perfect. Also looking at the other reference photos you can see slight variation from one design to the next. A typical issue with custom hand lettered paneling used in the good ole' days! No vinyl cutters and plotters back then. Also note these are separately applied panels on a trailer with fluting or ribbing. Neat effect worth doing as Trinkle Trains told me this afternoon.
