– MWCX “Ex-Roland and Nevada IA” 2013+ shows off a contemporary patch for Midwest Railcar Leasing.  A 2013 photo shows this MWCX leaser had escaped Conspicuity Striping, so we didn’t apply it to the model!  This car features a more weathered blue body color, replacement roof hatches, a weathered and peeling “RN” logo panel in the middle of the car, patched data and roof walkways finished with a weathered “unpainted” metal look.  The other details are accurate for this former PTLX leaser, including a Pullman body with open-hole posts, center-tube train air line, and truck mounted brake hardware.  (Notice there is no brake cylinder on the B-End!)  The bays are equipped with beautifully replicated early-style Miner outlet gates.  The model comes equipped our 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with accurate “Timken” rotating caps and correct truck-mounted brake beams.  The model even has its AEI tag properly installed on the lower right pull tab on the body!
