Morning Sun Books Inc 1741 1950s Freight Car Color Guide -- Volume 1: Boxcars

Morning Sun Books Inc's 1950s Freight Car Color Guide Volume 1: Boxcars is a must - have for modelers and railway fans. This large - format guide is filled with amazing color images. The 1950s were the classic era of freight cars. Before the mergers that changed railway names like creating Penn Central, Seaboard Coast Lines, and Erie - Lackawanna, 'boxcar red' was everywhere, and new, eye - catching paint schemes were emerging. It was the last decade of friction bearings and roofwalks, and the prime time for stock cars, ice - bunker refrigerator cars, and the XM 40' boxcar. This guide is one of the many photo - rich color guides from Morning Sun Books.

This guide is great for just browsing to get a feel of the 1950s freight car colors or for detailed reference when you're building models. When using it, handle the pages gently as they are full of precious color images. To keep it in good condition, store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight. If you're using it for model - building, take notes in a separate notebook instead of writing in the guide. Enjoy exploring the wonderful world of 1950s freight cars with this guide!
