– CFWR “ex-CNW Restencil” 2021+ shows off another contemporary patch, this time for the Caney Fork & Western Railroad.  The prototype subjects from 2021 are pulled from the C&NW 1981-built lot and have been passed down in a game of railcar-leasing “hot potato.”  For the model, that translates to detail changes and multiple layers of paint and lettering to mimic the prototypes.  Each model uses 12 to 14 different colors, accounting for all of the paint and lettering details.  Each of the three car numbers is different, matching prototype photos for the aging green bodies, patches, logo fading, multiple yellow delineator applications and more.  Yes, each car features a different AEI tag location — the list goes on and on.
