Hi. I model the 1940 time period. I have a brass model of an offset side 3 bay hopper, of the style like the Boston & Albany 3 bay hoppers built in the late 20's, as shown on pg. 62 of David Sweetland's "NYC Color Guide to Freight & Passenger Cars". I would like to paint my for New York Central, not B&A. Did NYC repaint any of these cars to NYC style in the early 40's? Did NYC have any of their own 3 bay offset side hoppers at this time? If so, are there any pictures available?
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.
