I like it.

 

So, Paul, when will the decals be ready for all these black covered hoppers 
we've been discussing?

  as on the prototype, but single ribs.  EL reporting marks on 


  the models are

  in Roman.  Pictures of prototype show Gothic.

 

How about this one? http://gelwood.railfan.net/frt/21893.jpg 

 

You can never make "absolute" statements about most EL freight cars' 
paint

and lettering, I've discovered. Generally speaking, earlier repaints 
have

Roman reporting marks, while later ones use the Gothic. Lettering 
positions

also seemed to be fairly arbitrary, as well as car color (black? 
white?

red?)...
