WOT PC&F boxcars shipping

PC car question... It looks like the green is the NYC green, much bluer than I'm used to.

I trust WoT, so does anyone know what's up with that? Was it a PC&F thing?

I was wondering about that PC green too.

Here's a picture of one though the quality of the photo is not too good.

I have not actually seen a picture of them anywhere, just drawings

Did you see the dayglo UP Baggage cars they recently released? (they come with a UV light)

I'd say trust but verify.

The prototype was painted Deepwater (PC) Green.  You will just have to weather the model if the color is off, which would be appropriate for 1985 anyway.

Ah, ok. It is, but that's fine. I was planning on using it with my PC era stuff but... out come the rust colors!

Thanks.

Speaking of, just hit the MP car with the Pan Pastels. It looks great.

Can you post pics of them?

I'd really like to see a pic of the PC ones before I pull the trigger

[Ed Kapuscinski]

Not the best photo, but it was sitting on my desk so here it is.

Also, I'm happy to confirm that after weathering, the green looks just fine.

Looks decent to me!

Yeah, a little brown really helped offset the extra blueness of it. I'm a happy customer!

I got my Nestle car. The paint is a little thick but the lettering is nice. On both sides the "North American" "card" is crooked  - should be an easy fix though.

These were built in 1970, here's one in 1979:

I still haven't heard anything from Chuck at FRT, or from N Scale Supply, so don't know if mine will arrive or not.  MB Klein is almost sold out, except for the PC cars.
