Re: Atlas 2287 IC 41677 vs IC 41877

 

Hi Ian,
? ? I have both color variant of the IC box car. The Orange and brown cars both read IC 41677. The Orange cars "I" on black circle logo is split and off center towards the bottom. The brown variant of the same cars "I" is solid and is close to center. The printing of the number on the brown car is on the rivet line and not on the rivet line on the Orange car. Sure their might be other variants of this same car.

Has anyone found legible proof that Atlas released 41677 and 41877 in the brown color?

Or is 41877 the result of print stamp wear on 41677?

I'm looking at 5 examples.. 3 brown, 2 orange.. Both Orange cars are clearly 41677..
?
One Brown car.. the 6/8 was printed over a rivet line and sort of looks like an 8.. but the reverse side clearly looks like a 6.
?
The other 2 brown examples the numbers are too thick and close together to make out a 6 vs 8.. So it looks like an 8.. but it could be the plate wore down to make a 6 an 8
