Back to 'Borden's butterdish cars'
The catwalks and the working buffers have been mounted. The cars received their basic paint - after application of the decals, the cars will receive a semi-gloss or matte finish.
The silver car with the brake wheel attached to the hood will be lettered as 'Borden's milk tank car'; the white one will be lettered for 'The Borden company chemical division'.
Of course the walkway has anti-slip pattern for safety reasons....
I'm not quite sure about painting the handrails in black - there are some photos with black handrails and a silver car (even the fins are black on their edges)- however it is from the initial delivery with top-fins (1940).
