ORER Notes

Discussion, General Notes

Per NEB&W Guide IV
Ex D&H double hoppers, built 1966

per B&MRRHS Modeler's Notes #39
Ex D&H 241-265 [note that is room for 24 cars...the B&M had at least 55 - should range be 241-365?]

per B&MRRHS Modeler's Notes #37
Some were in service with BM reporting marks prior to the initial "1" digit being added

Mike Clements email (24-Feb-2022) confirms these were ex-D&H cars

Paint Schemes

As Received - gray/yellow?
After purchase, it appears the B&M never repainted these cars, they just changed the reporting marks.
Paint was left as grey (yellow? - hard to tell with all the weathering), with the "DELAWARE & HUDSON" spelled out on the car side (and "shield?" herald)
As Received - "dark"
Some (e.g. 1308) were ?black? (faded "box car red/brown"?) with D&H "Shield?" herald
