Some good news for those who like different roadnames in their freight consists.
January 29th, 2019:
Just announced yesterday from Accucraft were 4 new AAR boxcar liveries and 2 new PFE reefer liveries. In addition there are going to be reruns of the GN boxcars, GN refrigerator cars, NP refrigerator cars and NYC boxcars.
Here's a listing of the new and rerun roadnames:
1:32 40' Reefer Cars
New Roadnames:
ART Reefer (Yellow sides, Brown ends, Silver roof):

Milwaukee Reefer (Orange Sides, Black ends/roof):

1:32 AAR Box Cars
New Roadnames:
CB&Q boxcar (Photos show both sides):


Erie Boxcar (Oxide red sides, Black ends/roof):

SP Overnight Service (All Black LCL express scheme):

St. Louis Southwestern "Cotton Belt" (Oxide red, Blue streak LCL freight scheme):

All exciting news and hopefully a preview of more new roadnames to come! Billboard advertisements and fancy slogans add color to an otherwise drab string of oxide red or reefer orange.
Who knows, perhaps these will pave the way for new car designs with enough patronage?!
