Unittrain, if it's a successor road, then just paint over it!
A lot of the old CR 3bays ended up in captive sand service on a TSBY-AA-CR routing from the Yuma sand pits to the Cleavland foundry.  There was at least one old CR with PC markings showing through.  I might have a picture of it somewhere.
The cars, which dissapeared after the Conrail breakup, where a mix of CR, PC, PRR & EL cylindricals and other assorted hoppers.

Anyone have the Plano part number?Plano has two different walkways and while they look to my eyes to be interchangable Walthers has one in stock (#256) but not the second one (#257).

 #256 = CS Shops and #257 = Bowser,but like I said my eyes tell me they are the same car.

The Plano part number is 257. See the link to Plano in my previous post, the one with the photos.

Finally got the correct roofwalks (dirrect from Plano) even though it says on the dealer page at Walthers that they have been discontinued.I also ordered some roofwalks for the ATLAS ACF Center-flos and discovered that they will work on the Bachmann version too.So I went to the LHS and ordered 4 more of the ATLAS walkways. :D
