As of last week, five of the nine boxcars slated for upgrades have been finished. As this post is being written, a Rock Island boxcar is set up for construction. Hopefully, it will go smoothly. Next will be three GM&O boxcars. Omscaler is considering making these with reporting marks only as this is the home road. However, checking the group of reference photos shows at least the road name as well. What is noted is that the ampersand is some of the pics is the standard font. Not the unusual ampersand seen which resembles a Cyrillic character. Omscaler does not recall any Russians involved with the early railroad. But, you never know. See you next post. Omscaler
