falconservice posted:Sometime soon Lionel has to finally catalog NORFOLK & WESTERN and SOUTHERN 86' Hi-Cube Boxcars in the original paint schemes from the late 1960's and early 1970's. They have to be made in the coming year.

I would buy 3 each(since they only do 3 road #s) of the 8-door and 4-door 86' boxcars in SOUTHERN with the as-built paint schemes shown in the SOU freight car color guide.
Using the SOU freight car color guide…there are prototype cars that closely match Lionel's tooling…
The 8-door can be found on page 60, middle of page. Series 42350-42377
The 4-door can be found on page 61, bottom of page. Series 42946-42999
I do not have stencil diagrams for these. Hopefully the SRHA can help with that.
If Lionel does these, hopefully they can choose random numbers within the series and not sequential numbering.
