Thanks! I've been gradually increasing the KP&W rolling stock roster over the last few years. The cars in the photo are part of a half dozen plug door boxcars I bought unpainted from MB Klein last year. I've lettered about a half dozen covered hoppers for the road and patched seven clam shell coil cars with the KP&W logo. I have a similar number of open hoppers I experimented lettering for the KP&W with an ink stamp. Oh...and one lonely 40 ft regular boxcar! Hmmmmm, tallying it up I have more than I thought! I have some 50 ft cars I lettered years ago that I am re-doing in the new lighter orange scheme. So, I have slightly fewer KP&W cars than Penn Central cars, plus a mix of "foreign roads".
