Hi Jim; FWIW, I checked the old Champ Freight Car Lettering Plan Book. It's entry for the Oppenheimer Car says a light green car with boxcar red roof and ends. It also notes arch bar or Andrews trucks and "Westinghouse" airbrakes, which I suspect meant K style. This is clearly an early 20th century car, no later than the ban on billboard reefers in the early 1930s.

I found a Weaver car ;that also had d a red/brown roof, so I'm thinking that's the way to go. If it ultimately turns out to be wrong, I can always put hi-rail wheels and big couplers on it Cheers Jm i On April 22, 2013 at 7:51 PM hoquathob <[email protected]> wrote: I( checked back on the color lists that Gene Walp sent to me when he was producing his line of sides.
