Re: D&RG coach 292 relettering

Stathi had asked beforehand what would be correct for this car BEFORE he even painted it and did get some responses. What I find frustrating is that obviously there were. People out there with more accurate information as they couldn’t be bothered to help out a response UNTIL it was all finished....... We had the same problem with the Gramps tank car lettering a few years ago when GRAMPS was painted white instead of silver. No one said squat until it was all finished and then they jumped all over us for the mistake.

I had talked to Stathi on the phone suggesting that he ask for lettering from the railfan community BEFORE he did the lettering which he did, and you can see the ‘experts’ didn’t share their information until it was completed. I realize it is only paint, but the hours and expense wasted undoing your work, and the frustration of having to do something over because someone was sitting on their information gets really old. I can almost bet that all of those naysayers didn’t help won’t with labor or any donations to help offset the costs of the sanding, painting, and relettering.
