Jeff, I should have made it clear that these C&S Coalcars were built by the C&S following the St Charles predecessor order built in 1898 #4003-4245.
Those St Charles cars were of the type shown in the photo posted by you in this other Como thread: [ngdiscussion.net]
Note on the St Charles built cars, the corner plates are individual plates per round of boards, the C&S built cars all have one piece corner plates as per the #4319.
Note that the #4319 (and my model) wear the Block C&S lettering. That paint scheme is incorrect for the Ph-1 cars, and was erroneously applied during the later display years at Central City.

Shameless inclusion of my 1994 NNGC 1st Place Award winning model of a C&S Coalcar.
