[PRCo] Re: 'Jones' car paint scheme

[Fred Schneider]

 You didn't state single or double-ended.  The double-end versions were patterned after those cars converted to one-man with double width end doors.  All cars 4200-4399 were built with single-stream end doors but not all were rebuilt with double stream
doors.  Your best bet would be to find a picture of a car that looks similar.

The single end cars best match 5400s and 5500s.  The 5000s, 5100s, and 5200s were multiple unit cars with a contactor box under the rear and different couplers.  The same problem stated in the previous paragraph applies to the 4700-4799 and 4800-4939 group.

Ask Jim Holland to send you a color image of the orange cars St. Petersburg is building.  You will never be able to properly number the HO brass car because the headlight is far too big leaving no room for a number under it.   Simple answers ... needs more
detail.   A lot of this has been discussed in the past ... ask Derrick to explain how to get into the list's archived messages.   (The maroon paint scheme doesn't apply to any of the double front door cars.)
