Yep John, the car you show in the picture is what I'm looking for.
Is there a reason you left the railings yellow, instead of painting them to look like dried out, distressed wood?

Well...
The yellow was one of the two colors that Lionel produced for the stakes and cross pieces. I specifically wanted the yellow ones because I think they look great as a color contrast with the brown flat car. Also matches up well with the yellow General Set rolling stock.
So, just a personal preference.
