Steam-era boxcar roof/end color Q

[NW Modeling List]

The model ( I also have one) looks identical to the photo of 53499 on page 52 of the N&W Handbook, but you cannot see anything of the ends or roof in the photo.

Subject: Steam-era boxcar roof/end color Q

Hello all,In a moment of weakness, I bought a Kadee HO scale 40’ boxcar that poses as an N&W B8, with a 1953 build date in the 53000-53499 number group. Unlike most all others I’ve seen, this one has a black roof and ends. Izzat prototypical? The microscopic lettering on the car side denotes “For Clean Freight Only” — dunno if that makes any difference.Thoughts, memories, etc., welcomed.Thanks much,

Andre Jackson
