Following up on Greg's point. Personally, if the CV is on the door I think I will pass but if it is blank how it is today that would be an instant preorder.

In addition to better matching the one currently on display at Strasburg, the 40000 Central Vermont series boxcars only wore the interwoven CV logo for a few years at most. The cars were delivered in the mid-1920s and the interwoven CV logo was adopted in 1963, at which point 40025 was nearing the end of its revenue service. As far as I can find there is no photographic proof that any of them ever had that logo. When Strasburg did their restoration of 40025, it returned it to its pre-1963 paint scheme and more traditional paint scheme.

Here is a nice article from the Central Vermont modeler.
