[RITSlist] Question about Bulkheads

[Steven Suhs]

Group,
   
  I know of at least one of the GSC bulkhead flats got blue paint. I shot a slide of one with UP markings in Mason City, IA in the early 80's. If one finds a 1979 or 1980 ORER qand find the number series for these cars. Then add 500000 to the number series you might find a few of thes ecars got blue paint. I'd look in the ROCK 5918xx series as a starting point.

      Brian: If it's the old MDC built up kit one I found on eBay, then it's a "fantasy" paint job. I think this is a TTX prototype car based on a late 70's design, and MDC used to put every roadname/paint job possible on these kits, fantasy or not. Walther's used to have a kit for the GSC style cars seen in the Rock Island Color Guide that came lettered in the RI freight car red color, and it can be built into a pretty accurate model for RI. I think these are out of production right now, so you may have to look for them. If any were painted in ROCK blue, I've never seen one in a picture or real life. 
  Hope this will help.

> Last week, I saw on Ebay an HO bulkhead flat car painted up in the blue scheme. I went through the Color Guide book by Steve Hile and was unable to find any in blue there. I wish I had written the road number on the car down.  Was this a fantasy scheme or did the Rock actually have any bulkheads in blue? If I remember correctly, the one on Ebay looked like a newer model bulkhead and not the ones shown in Hile's book.
