Hard to tell from the picture if they used our logo or not without examining the car. It's definitely close for sure. Because of the printing process, you can't use as fine of a line or detail as can be done with decals so we need to make allowances for that.

The rest of the data does not match the actual rebuilds of the 1949 Pressed Steel cars. We didn't have all the lettering completed at the time the logo artwork was forwarded.

All in all, the cars make a decent stand-in for the general modeler. I'd buy them just because they're handy and I wouldn't have to do the work. There's really not that many of us in the know that can legitimately nitpick them.

That said, at least I'm happy P&WV is getting represented. Can't wait to see what they're going to do with the covered hoppers. If I remember correctly, we sent a complete set of artwork for those.

They look very nice, but unfortunately for me they are "H"orribly "O"versized

ha ha ha, just a little "N" scale humor. Yes, you don't have to be crazy to model in "N" scale, but it helps.........
