(erielack) New Branchline 50' EL boxcars coming...

["Tupaczewski, Paul R (Paul)" <paultup_@_lucent.com>]

Unfortunately, lettering-wise it's pretty wrong. The roadname typeface is wrong, the diamond is "too heavy," and the two big zingers:

1. The reporting marks are done in EL Gothic (which was never used on the gray cars)
2. There's a Safety First logo on the right side of the car (these logos never appeared on the gray cars, and in fact weren't introduced until the early 1970s!)

I have already written them hoping to try and get it corrected before they release them (this looks like possibly a pre-produciton model)...
