Here is a boxcar that I found a train show. It fits in with my railroad with the El Paso logo. The state of Missouri icon is interesting though. Does any one know the history. Maybe it is from a train club?

Thanks

if i am not mistaken there was a company that did custom decorated train sets called show me lines. that would explain the sml reporting marks on the car, along with the missouri logo in the corner. i don't believe this car was patterned after anything that existed in real life.

this car is a standard out of the box athearn boxcar, but with an interesting paint scheme. could this be a model of one of the cameo cars?

JWard,

Thanks for the info. The logo on the website looks just like the one on the boxcar. :)
