Steve F45 wrote:Can anyone tell me where M&E stores this boxcar? I've emailed the m&e to ask about its dimensions for the signs on the sides but never got a response. I'de like to know if it is legally accessible so I can take a fewe measurements of those signs. If not i'll call the m&e and see if they can help.

When it comes back from its Toys for Tots run, I'll see what I can do for you.

i'de appreciate it. and if youc an a pic of each sign if its not to much. I never heard back from the decal guy in time to make this car.

i saw the boxcar today and got a photo of the height. the photo thing isnt working for me so here's what was on the boxcar:

height is 14 foot 6 inch on the exterior.

i have the model I need. What i need are the sizes of the signs on it.

toys for tots sign is about 3 and a half feet high, and about 2 and a half feet long

See photo here or this shot (view large). You can see all signs and specs/measurements in large size.

I think you have those sizes reversed. The TFT sign is about 2' high and 4' long. The sponsor sign is about 4' by 4'.

Steve, I got head-on shots of both sighs, so I'll post photos when I get home from school and have an actual computer.

I've been lucky enough to work with the MTA and the toys for tots 3 years in a row with the members of the North Jersey Jeep Club.
